Solmaz Sharif

What We Say: This essential book of poems tells the stories of families and homes left behind; of the stark inhumanity of border checkpoints; of holding on to a language that doesn’t quite feel your own any more. These shards of memory and experience will resonate both with those who understand and those who wish to. Beautiful.

What They Say: “Witty and incisive... [Sharif] masterfully traverses the landscape of exile and all its complicated grief” – New York Times
