CHAOS, CROSSING

Poetry. Translated by Kareem James Abu-Zeid. World Poetry, 2022. Paperback, 192 pages. 8.82" x 5.67"

From the press: In her English-language debut, acclaimed French-language poet of the Palestinian diaspora Olivia Elias probes deeply into the upheavals of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Chaos, Crossing—translated by award-winning translator Kareem James Abu-Zeid—is a powerful chronicle of uprootedness, of times marked by inequality, injustice, and disconnection. These poems seek the calm at the center of the storm, the still point amidst the chaos.
