Description
This acclaimed collection of poems finds extraordinary meaning in ordinary lives, objects, and moments—from family memories and neighborhood encounters to the natural world and the quiet discoveries of daily life. With tenderness, humor, and close attention to human detail, the poems explore family, home, cultural identity, and the ways people learn to see beauty where others overlook it. Alongside intimate portraits are urgent reflections on violence and the ongoing search for peace in the Middle East, linking personal experience to universal questions of prejudice, injustice, and belonging. Lyrical, compassionate, and clear-eyed, the collection demonstrates how poetry can uncover connection in the places where it often hides.
