內容簡介
內容簡介 Winner of 2024 Sarabande 2024 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry and chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of the Top 10 Poetry collections for Spring 2026, Edward Salem's Intifadas is a subversive collection about Palestinian resistance, liberation and art Written across Palestine and its diaspora--from Gaza and the West Bank to the United States--Intifadas is a subtly transgressive poetry collection about uprising in its many forms--in art, politics, and in our most personal relationships. Whether by dumping black paint on a park where a tank and fighter jet commemorate a war, or by trying to rescue a moth trapped in a garage, the defiant and resilient voices in this collection subvert traditional narratives of loss. Furious, tender, and darkly funny, Intifadas asks what art can do in the face of catastrophe, and answers with poems that refuse easy consolations.
