Description
In this compelling debut poetry collection, a “wandering poet” moves across landscapes, cultures, memories, and generations, exploring the many ways people seek meaning, connection, and solace. Rooted in Naomi Shihab Nye’s Palestinian-American heritage and shaped by lives lived between the Middle East and the United States, these poems attend to ordinary encounters while acknowledging the pain, division, and uncertainty woven through human experience. With warmth, spiritual curiosity, and vivid, accessible language, the collection celebrates the coexistence of sorrow and joy—and the shared humanity that can bridge seemingly distant worlds.
