I have brought you a severed hand - Ghayath Almadhoun

Fluid and unselfconscious, these are love poems in the shape of nightmares. Ghayath Almadhoun writes with a surreal mix of scathing humour, serious hope and heteroerotic lust. Caught between two exiles, the one inherited from his Palestinian father and the one he chose and lives, these poems try to explain water and tame hope.
