Your Blue and the Quiet Lament records the textures of grief after a cousins murder at the hands of the Syrian state reaches the poet through a long-distance phone call. The poems trace a narrative of arrest, imprisonment, and torture in Syria and interweave the difficulties a family experiences in the diaspora. Shifting between the death of poet Federico García Lorca and that of her cousin, Lubnas poetry contends with personal loss by distancing the meaning of one death through the intermediary of another. Yet the distortion of distance is already there--in the language, in the geographic space, in time, in the grief itself--tinged with blue. As she recalls childhood memories and imagines conversations with her dead cousin, Lubnas poetry whispers, calls out, sings, laments, pens letters, photographs, sketches, paints, and prays in an attempt to exhaust grief.Book specifications:Collection: Walt McDonald First-Book PoetryDimensions: 230 x 152Author: Lubna SafiCover type: HardcoverPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 8Pages: 96Language: EnglishPublisher: Texas Tech University PressWeight: 227 g
