About the Book

SHORT LISTED FOR THE AGNES LYNCH STARRETT POETRY PRIZE/THE PITT POETRY SERIES "In The Lives of Rain, Nathalie Handal has brought forth a work of radical displacement and uncertainty, moving continent to continent, giving voice to Palestinians of the diaspora in the utterance of one fiercely awake and compassionate, who, against warfare, occupation and brutality offers her native language, olives, wind, a herd of sheep or a burning mountain, radio music, a butterfly's gaze... Handal is a poet of deftly considered paradoxes and reversals, sensory evocations and mysteries left beautifully unresolved. Hers is a language seared by history and marked by the impress of extremity; so it is suffused with a rare species of wisdom." -From the Foreword by Carolyn Forché

About the Author :
Nathalie Handal is an award-winning poet, playwright, nonfiction and literary travel writer. She was raised in Latin America, France, and the Middle East, and educated in Asia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Handal is the author of five poetry collections and is the editor of the groundbreaking classic The Poetry of Arab Women: A Contemporary Anthology, named one of the top 10 Feminist Books by The Guardian.

Review :
"Handal's poetry tells the story over and over of the pain of separation, the heartache of missed chances, and the tragedy of a displaced culture" the poems wash over the reader like music, and the reader becomes witness and heir to the senseless pain created in this world, experienced and transmitted by this poet." "The Lives of Rain is a stirring, heartrending collection that forces us to look at the agonizing ramifications of military intervention and the Palestinian diaspora" Handal is an important and eloquent voice whose poetic vision is as rare as it is necessary."
