Description

Philip Metres' Fugitive/Refuge is a powerful exploration of home and belonging. This book-length qasida weaves together traditional and experimental forms to confront the challenges of our age, including forced migration, climate change, and toxic nationalism. Through his ancestors' journey from Lebanon to Mexico to the United States, Metres examines what it means to long for home and how older forms of welcome might offer new ways of responding to mass migration and digital alienation. He dialogues with Dante to inform a new understanding of ancestral and modern migrations, and meditates on the Arabic greeting ahlan wa sahlan. Ultimately, Fugitive/Refuge creates a new place - one for home and dream - for all those seeking shelter.
