O - Zeina Hashem Beck

Zeina Hashem Beck writes at the intersection of the divine and the profane, where she crafts elegant, candid poems that simultaneously exude a boundless curiosity and a deep knowingness. Formally electrifying - from lyrics and triptychs to ghazals and Zeina''s own duets, in which English and Arabic echo and contradict each other - O explores the limits of language, notions of home and exile, and stirring visions of motherhood, memory, and faith.
