Something About Living

"Through her poems, Lena Khalaf Tuffaha tells us stories of lands where violence is ever present. She speaks of violence against Palestinians hoping to live. She also chronicles the specter of violence in American life – her poem on an American mass shooting, “This Day Our Daily Bread,” will crack you right open. Tuffaha’s collection won the National Book Award for poetry, and these beautiful, haunting poems will stay with you for a long time."
