Description
Alight is a hauntingly lyrical collection of poetry that explores the intersections of identity, family, and suffering. With anatomical precision, Fady Joudah illustrates scenes that are at once uncanny and contemporary, revealing the complexities of the human experience.
The poems in Alight alternate between the estranging familiar and strangely intimate, as Joudah navigates the boundaries between self and other. As a poet, physician, and translator, he brings a unique perspective to his work, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
