Loss Sings : The Cahier Series 32 Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The seventh-century poet Tumadir, also known as al-Khansa'--a sobriquet that means "the Snub-nosed Gazelle doe"--survived both her brothers.

Her poetic output consists of dirges for those dead brothers.

In Loss Sings, James Montgomery translates a number of these dirges from the Arabic and weaves a cahier around them.

Bringing this little-known ancient Arabic poet to contemporary readers for the first time, Montogomery intersperses personal and poignant observations throughout the collection as he explores related elements of death and loss.
