Über diesen Titel
Bloomsbury presents A Dress of Locusts written and read by Safa Khatib.
Safa Khatib’s poems open my eyes, sharpen my ears' SAFIA ELHILLO
'With a meditative clarity, Khatib calls us to account for the ways we have – and continue to – turn eyes away from the historic now' NIKI HERD
An electrifying debut collection exploring language and revolution, by an extraordinary poetic talent
Woven from threads of Aramaic, Spanish, Ancient Greek, Sumerian and Arabic, A Dress of Locusts is an unforgettable song cycle in which the living and dead sing back and forth to one another. Here, Safa Khatib journeys across the possibilities of language and self, asking us to dwell in the thresholds between the 'old' and the 'new'.
Kritikerstimmen
'Safa Khatib’s poems take us everywhere and nowhere. They take us to the river and bring us back thirsty. They are suspended in the in-between – in the pockets of the body, in late visits to the ruins, in the phone calls demanding a life together. Khatib does not shy away from Empire by hiding in the interior, she blurs both topographies into one' (MONA KAREEM, author of I Will Not Fold These Maps)
