Hagar Before the Occupation/Hagar After the Occupation - Paperback
Hagar Before the Occupation/Hagar After the Occupation - Paperback
Description
by Amal Al-Jubouri (Author), Rebecca Gayle Howell (Translator), Husam Qaisi (Translator)
This critically acclaimed translation of Iraqi author Amal al-Jubouri contextualizes America's occupation of Iraq through the Qur'an's story of Hagar. Complementary pairs of poems portray life before and after the war. This work simultaneously mirrors Hagar's desperate running between Safa and Marwah, as we pace frantically between pre- and post-occupation Iraq-the poet begging in vain for poetry not to abandon her people.
