Omar Sakr

The Lost Arabs (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Award-winning Arab Australian poet Omar Sakr presents a pulsating collection of poetry that interrogates the bonds and borders of family, faith, queerness, and nationality.

Visceral and energetic, Sakr's poetry confronts the complicated notion of "belonging" when one's family, culture, and country are at odds with one's personal identity. Braiding together sexuality and divinity, conflict and redemption, The Lost Arabs is a fierce, urgent collection from a distinct new voice.
