Notes

Description
For Hala Alyan, twenty-nine is a year of transformation and upheaval, a year in which the past -- memories of family members, old friends and past lovers, the heat of another land, another language, a different faith -- winds itself around the present. Hala's ever-shifting, subversive verse sifts through different forms of displacement and the tolls they take on mind and body. Poems leap from war-torn cities in the Middle East, to an Oklahoma Olive Garden or a Brooklyn brownstone; from alcoholism to recovery; from a single woman to a wife. This collection summons breathtaking chaos. A vivid catalog of heartache, loneliness, love and joy, The Twenty-Ninth Year is an education in looking for home and self in the space between disparate identities.
