This poetry collection by Hala Alyan explores themes of memory, displacement, and family across different landscapes including Brooklyn, Beirut, and Jerusalem. It delves into the complex interplay between personal and geopolitical histories, blending ordinary moments with wider histories to examine resilience, love, and identity amid displacement. Through these poems, Alyan reflects on what it takes to find stability and selfhood in a world marked by change and upheaval.
