Description
The Twenty-ninth Year Poems by Hala Alyan is a powerful exploration of identity, displacement, and the search for home. Through her evocative verse, Alyan weaves together disparate threads of experience, from memories of family and past lovers to the tolls of war and recovery. This collection is a vivid catalog of heartache, loneliness, love, and joy, one that seeps into the bones of its odes and elegies. With unflinching honesty, Alyan navigates the complexities of identity and belonging, summoning breathtaking chaos in her pursuit of self-discovery. Alyan's poetry is a testament to the transformative power of language, as she sifts through the fragments of her past to forge a new sense of home and self.
