Hala’s ever-shifting, subversive verse sifts together and through different forms of forced displacement and the tolls they take on mind and body. Poems leap from war-torn cities in the Middle East, to an Oklahoma Olive Garden, a Brooklyn brownstone; from alcoholism to recovery; from a single woman to a wife. This collection summons breathtaking chaos, one that seeps into the bones of these odes, the shape of these elegies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA vivid catalog of heartache, loneliness, love and joy, \u003ci\u003eThe Twenty-Ninth Year\u003c\/i\u003e is an education in looking for home and self in the space between disparate identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e BOOK CONDITION: NEW\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"watanpalestine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31122576310317,"sku":"12416","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/2838\/3021\/products\/1049769651.jpg?v=1573000415","url":"https:\/\/watanpalestine.com\/ar\/products\/the-twenty-ninth-year-by-hala-alyan","provider":"WATAN STUDIO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
