Publisher Marketing: Acclaimed French-language poet of the Palestinian diaspora Olivia Elias probes deeply into the upheavals of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in this powerful chronicle of uprootedness, of times marked by inequality, injustice, and disconnection. Chaos, Crossing-her first book in English, translated by award-winning translator Kareem James Abu-Zeid-is also about finding calm at the center of the storm, the still point amidst the chaos.
