SUMMARY:National Book Award Winner: Lena Khalaf Tuffaha
DESCRIPTION:Lena Khalaf Tuffaha reads from Something About Living\, her National Book Award-winning third poetry collection.\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please help us plan for audience size by RSVPing here. \nIt’s nearly impossible to write poetry that holds the human desire for joy and the insistent agitations of protest at the same time\, but Lena Khalaf Tuffaha’s gorgeous and wide-ranging new collection Something About Living does just that. Her poems interweave Palestine’s historic suffering\, the challenges of living in this world full of violence and ill will\, and the gentle delights we embrace to survive that violence. Khalaf Tuffaha’s elegant poems sing the fractured songs of Diaspora while remaining clear-eyed to the cause of the fracturing: the multinational hubris of colonialism and greed. \nThis collection is her witness to our collective unraveling\, vowel by vowel\, syllable by syllable. “Let the plural be a return of us” the speaker of “On the Thirtieth Friday We Consider Plurals” says and this plurality is our tenuous humanity and the deep need to hang on to kindness in our communities. In these poems Khalaf Tuffaha reminds us that love isn’t an idea; it is a radical act. Especially for those who\, like this poet\, travel through the world vigilantly\, but steadfastly remain heart first. —Adrian Matejka\, author of Somebody Else Sold the World \nLena Khalaf Tuffaha is a poet\, essayist and translator. She is the author of Water & Salt (Red Hen)\, winner of the 2018 Washington State Book Award\, Kaan & Her Sisters (Trio House Press)\, finalist for the Firecracker Award\, and Something About Living (UAkron\, 2024)\, a finalist for the 2024 National Book Award and winner of the 2022 Akron Prize for Poetry. Her writing has been published in journals including Los Angeles Review of Books\, Michigan Quarterly Revie\, the Nation\, Poets.org\, and Prairie Schooner and in anthologies including The Long Devotion and We Call to the Eye and the Night. She was the translator and curator of the 2022 series “Poems from Palestine” at the Baffler magazine. She is currently curating a year-long subscription of Palestinian poetry books with Open Books\, Seattle’s poetry-only bookstore. For more about her work\, visit www.lenakhalaftuffaha.com
