Dual Poetry launch: Lena Khalaf Tuffaha's Water & Salt, Fady Joudah's Footnotes in the Order of Disappearance
Khalaf's poems alternately rage, laugh, celebrate and grieve, singing in the voices of people ravaged by cycles of war and news coverage, inviting the reader to see the human lives lived beyond the headlines. Joudah has written love poems to the lovely and unlovely, the loved and unloved; celebrating moments of delight and awe with his wife, his mentors and the beauty of the natural world.
