National Book Award: Longlist for Poetry Its nearly impossible to write poetry that holds the human desire for joy and the insistent agitations of protest at the same time, but Lena Khalaf Tuffahas gorgeous and wide-ranging new collection Something About Living does just that. Her poems interweave Palestines historic suffering, the challenges of living in this world full of violence and ill will, and the gentle delights we embrace to survive that violence. Khalaf Tuffahas elegant poems sing the fractured songs of Diaspora while remaining clear-eyed to the cause of the fracturing: the multinational hubris of colonialism and greed. This collection is her witness to our collective unraveling, vowel by vowel, syllable by syllable. Let the plural be a return of us the speaker of On the Thirtieth Friday We Consider Plurals says and this plurality is our tenuous humanity and the deep need to hang on to kindness in our communities. In these poems Khalaf Tuffaha reminds us that love isnt an idea; it is a radical act. Especially for those who, like this poet, travel through the world vigilantly, but steadfastly remain heart first. --Adrian Matejka, author of Somebody Else Sold the World nWinner of the 2024 National Book Award for Poetry nWinner of the 2022 Akron Poetry Prize Its nearly impossible to write poetry that holds the human desire for joy and the insistent agitations of protest at the same time, but Lena Khalaf Tuffahas gorgeous and wide-ranging new collection Something About Living does just that.
