Palestinian authors

From one of our most acclaimed contemporary writers, an urgent and essential collection of poems illuminating the visionary presence of Palestinians.

Translated from the Arabic and introduced by Fady Joudah, You Can Be the Last Leaf draws on two decades of work to present the transcendent and timely US debut of Palestinian poet Maya Abu Al-Hayyat.

Love poems to the lovely and unlovely, the loved and unloved, finding tenderness for the other, the dead, and the disappeared.

From Fady Joudah, an elegant collection of poems that shifts deftly between the microscope, the telescope, and the horoscope.
