Part ode, part elegy, part protection spell, Ruth Awads Outside the Joy holds at its radiant heart precarity itself. These poems inventory the losses, the mercies, and the small miracles in this life that is not ours for long: Here is the moon as freckled as a mothers skin, and here is the sunlight that arrives//first at your window, quietly pawing/ even when you cant stand it. What a gift to be haunted by these words. --Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful Outside the Joy is filled with poems that sear with lyric clarity about grief, love, survival, and wonder amid personal loss and environmental collapse. Tracing losses both interpersonal and universal - from a mothers failing heart to environmental and economic decline ravaging ancestral homelands - OUTSIDE THE JOY is a compendium of abundance in a world rife with want. With a voice as singular as it is illuminating, Awad explores the sharp contrasts of our shared existence: the human capacity to hurt and to hold one another, the love and grief that grow from our ephemeral connectedness. These poems unearth the sacred in the ordinary and invite you to do the same - if only / youll let the world / soften you with its touching.
