Description

Vénus Khoury-Ghata's She Says is a powerful collection of poems that explore the intersections of French and Arabic cultures. Translated by Marilyn Hacker, this bilingual edition brings together works that are both deeply personal and universally relatable. The poems in She Says are characterized by their jagged edges and spare beauty, addressing themes such as sex, barrenness, grief, and death against the backdrop of a war-torn country. With lines that open like "a suitcase filled with alphabets," Khoury-Ghata's work is both deeply confessional and mythic in its scope. This important collection presents a vital voice in both French and Arabic languages, offering a unique perspective on the human experience.
