Publisher Marketing: Poetry. Middle Eastern Studies. Here is ADRENALIN, Syrian-born, Stockholm-based Palestinian poet Ghayath Almadhoun's first collection to be published in English. This sinuous translation comprises poems that span years and continents, that circulate between cities, ideas, lovers, places of refuge, war zones, time zones, histories. Here is a vital, relentless, intertextual voice that refuses arrest by sentimentality, that pursues the poetry coursing underneath the poetry.
