My Name on His Tongue : Poems Paperback / softback
by Laila Halaby
Part of the Arab American Writing series
Paperback / softback
Description
Best-selling novelist and PEN Award winner Halaby presents readers with her first collection of poetry.
Intensely personal and marked with a trenchant wit, these poems form a memoir following Halaby’s life as they explore the disorientation of exile, the challenge of navigating two cultures, and the struggle to shape her own creative identity.
She shares the pain and confusion of growing up—the need for belonging and the solace of community—with tenderness and fearless candour.
Rooted in her Middle Eastern heritage, these poems illuminate the Arab American experience over the last quarter century.
Turning away from all that is esoteric and remote in American poetry today, Halaby’s lucid and forthright voice speaks to and for a large audience.
