O by Zeina Hashem Beck - Poetry Collection | Contemporary Middle Eastern Literature | Perfect for Book Clubs & Poetry Lovers

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2022 BY LIT HUB AND THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

" O is so full of music and passion for life . . . Zeina Hashem Beck's poems unfold the abundance of our world." --Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic

Zeina Hashem Beck writes at the intersection of the divine and the profane, where she crafts elegant, candid poems that simultaneously exude a boundless curiosity and a deep knowingness. Formally electrifying--from lyrics and triptychs to ghazals and Zeina's own duets, in which English and Arabic echo and contradict each other-- O explores the limits of language, notions of home and exile, and stirring visions of motherhood, memory, and faith.
