"The sisters sing / us our poems," the poet writes, "whisper of becoming." Tuffaha achieves the difficult balance of documenting real-world political brutality with lyric reveries. From the Arab Spring to the songs of Fairuz, the epic journey this collection takes us on is unforgettable."--Back cover. 505 0 $a Facts on the Ground -- Miss Sahar Tells the Story.
