Synopsis

Winner of 2024 Sarabande 2024 Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry, the 2023 Nightboat Poetry Prize and selected by Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize winning poet Louise Glück as Finalist for the 2021 Bergman Prize

Intifadas is a subtly transgressive poetry collection about uprising in its many forms--in art, politics, and in our most personal relationships. Channeling influences such as Taha Mohammed Ali, Daniel Borzutsky, and Tony Hoagland, these voice-driven narrative poems seek out meaning through personal, discrete acts of resistance.

Written across the Palestinian diaspora--from Gaza and the West Bank to across the United States--Intifadas confront their personal and ancestral alienation using their environment as their canvas. Whether by dumping black paint on a park where a tank and fighter jet commemorate a war, or by trying to rescue a moth trapped in a garage, they find empowerment in creative expression. These poems process familial loss, exile and occupation while representing the defiant and resilient voices who continue to resist the machinations of war subverting traditional narratives of grief, trauma and oppression.
