A Dress of Locusts

A Dress of Locusts, the compelling debut collection by Safa Khatib, explores the intersections of language, history, and revolution through a rich tapestry of multilingual poetry. Woven from diverse linguistic threads including Aramaic, Spanish, Ancient Greek, Sumerian, and Arabic, the poems evoke a dialogue between past and present, the living and the dead. With meditative clarity, Khatib invites readers to reflect on how we acknowledge or overlook the complexities of our collective history and identity.
