Hassan’s poetry draws us into her unique experiences from Iraq to Turkey to the U.S. of a life lived always surrounded by war, loss, and loneliness but searching for life and love. Through this collection from an award-winning, internationally-recognized poet, the reader can wait “in a secret garden,” lying in the grass, and let the words “grow on your tongue” and “jump into the heart artery.”  She invites us to “keep moving, breathing” and to focus on the fortune of being alive. This is the book we need for living in these times.

–Ellen Hernandez, author of In Morocco: Rihlat Amri’yat Amrikia and Voices from a Pandemic

 

If you can’t cry, write a poem

If you can’t scream, write a poem

If you can’t move, write a poem

If you, can’t Sleep, write a poem

Life without poetry looks like an unknown Journey on the wing of a blind dragon.

–Faleeha Hassan
