With stunning lyricism she fiercely probes the pain of being powerless in the face of global catastrophes - genocide, climate crisis - without tilting into despair. These poems do not divide the personal and political - indeed, boundaries are met with love and defiance, even when they appear immutable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voice that permeates is as inviting as it is brave, through the book's expansive terrain, from the \"hopscotch puddles\" of childhood to peace marches that do 'something\/to time and space, like we're here together \/ but we're also there', to a militarised border where people pass 'prickly pears \/ over razor wire, sacks of apples and bread'. El-Enany ushers our attention to the vulnerable and the small, the 'wail of forgotten things', waking us to what we cannot hear, the 'woodlice walking \/ and spiders making silk'. Hers is a poetry of clarity, compassion and a 'readying kind of love for the world'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118188191767,"sku":"9781780377780","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/81XhF4d-XXL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781995669","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/el-enany-nadine-pelican-dapb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
