Description
High Desert is a powerful exploration of the American Southwest, delving into pivotal events such as the First Red Scare and the Tulsa Race Massacre. André Naffis-Sahely's poems reflect on class, race, and nationalism, charting the region's hidden histories from the Spanish Colonial Era to the current pandemic.
The poems in High Desert also reveal a sense of rootlessness, as Naffis-Sahely shifts his gaze outside the US, traveling to Venice, Florence, Chittagong, and St Petersburg. This collection is part of a body of work that presents poetry as reportage, combining vivid vision with acts of memory.
High Desert was named one of the '20 best poetry books of 2022' in The Telegraph, and follows Naffis-Sahely's previous collections, including The Promised Land: Poems from Itinerant Life and The Other Side of Nowhere. This latest work is a searing and extraordinary exploration of our turbulent times.
