Poetry Reading Group

Join us in the bookshop for an evening of poetry discussion. This month's selection is [...] by Fady Joudah.

Responding to the unspeakable in real time, Joudah offers multiple ways of seeing the world through a Palestinian lens.

Fady Joudah is the author of six previous collections of poems: The Earth in the Attic; Alight; Textu, Footnotes in the Order of Disappearance, and, most recently, Tethered to Stars. He has translated several collections of poetry from the Arabic and is the co-editor and co-founder of the Etel Adnan Poetry Prize. He was a winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets competition in 2007 and has received a PEN award, a Banipal/Times Literary Supplement prize from the UK, the Griffin Poetry Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Arab American Book Award. He lives in Houston, with his wife and kids, where he practices internal medicine.
