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

The Narratives of Pain structure honors both storytellers and witnesses (i.e the audience) with stories that range in subject matter and form\, focused on the needs of each person. \nIt is important that the Palestinian community can come together in a safe\, shared space to feel free to open up with the intention to heal individually and collectively. We must take care of ourselves as much as we show up for our community in order to sustain the resistance we are all engaging in daily. \nIf you are interested in signing up as a storyteller\, please contact Zain Shamoon via email at zain.shamoon87@gmail.com \n  \nSeattle\, WA\nFriday\, May 31st\n7-9\nDoors open at 6:30 \n*This event will take place in Seattle WA\, with the exact location being shared the week of the event.

SUMMARY:Art Reception & Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Art Reception & Vigil: Friday\, March 1st\, 5 – 8PM\nPoetry\, warm tea & comfort food will be served.\nSilent Vigil.\nThe future is dark. Is this darkness of the tomb – or of the womb? It is both. In all the death and destruction around us\, I believe we must find the audacity to lift our gaze and witness the emergence of the new – millions waking to our shared humanity\, coming together to grieve and imagine otherwise. In us\, I see glimpses of the world waiting to be born. I choose to labor for that world\, with you. Let’s last. \nTonight we breathe\, tomorrow we push. \n– Valerie Kaur

SUMMARY:Family Dinner:  Palestinian Poetry Feast
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dinner where we do all the cooking! Each month we open the doors between our classrooms and seat 40 guests for a five-course family-style feast\, featuring all the ingredients we’re excited about. And this October we’re hosting another very special dinner\, with Nadia Tommalieh taking the lead. We’re excited to welcome local poet Lena Khalaf Tuffaha to celebrate her new book “Kaan and Her Sisters” with a menu inspired by her writing. This book of poems is about grief\, survival\, displacement\, and intergenerational memory\, following a teacher of Arabic from her origins in Palestine to the cities of the Arab world. It’s a perfect pairing for Nadia’s cooking\, which is itself powerfully informed by memories of Palestine — we can’t wait to taste what comes from this conversation. Pricing includes tip\, a wine pairing with each savory course\, tea or coffee with dessert\, and a signed copy of “Kaan and Her Sisters”.

SUMMARY:Lena Khalaf Tuffaha with Claudia Castro Luna and Rachel Edelman at Elliott Bay Book Company
DESCRIPTION:Poet and friend of the store Lena Khalaf Tuffaha returns for the launch of her latest collection\, Kaan and Her Sisters. Fellow poets Claudia Castro Luna and Rachel Edelman will join her for the reading. \nKaan and Her Sisters illuminates the work of grief and survival\, the sordid legacies of official historical record and the liberatory practice of intimate narration. Tuffaha writes in the liminal space between languages\, personifying Arabic verbs who guide the reader through a “history hurtling into the future.” Kaan and Her Sisters centers character of the Arabic teacher\, Miss Sahar\, whose progressive displacements from Palestine and across Arab cities unfold in epistles\, refashioned songs\, and glimpses into the interiors of her lost home. In these disclosures\, a study of time and a record of resistance to erasure emerges\, and at its heart\, the women who keep intergenerational memory. “Our mothers miraculous\, persevering./No maps are new to the ancestors.” \nLena Khalaf Tuffaha is the author of Water & Salt\, winner of the 2018 Washington State Book Award. She is the translator and curator of the Poems from Palestine series at the Baffler magazine. She is the winner of the 2022 Akron Prize for Poetry\, for her book Something About Living (U of Akron Press\, 2024). Her second book of poems\, Kaan & Her Sisters is available now from Trio House Press. \nClaudia Castro Luna has been an Academy of American Poets Poet Laureate fellow\, the Washington State Poet Laureate\, and Seattle’s inaugural Civic Poet. She is the author of Cipota Under the Moon; One River\, A Thousand Voices; the Pushcart nominated Killing Marías\, shortlisted for the Washington State 2018 Book Award in poetry; and the chapbook This City. Her most recent nonfiction can be found in the anthology There’s a Revolution Outside\, My Love: Letters from a Crisis. Born in El Salvador\, she came to the United States in 1981. Living in English and Spanish\, Claudia writes and teaches in Seattle on unceded Duwamish lands where she gardens and keeps chickens with her husband and their three children. \nRachel Edelman is a Jewish poet raised in Memphis\, TN whose writing explores the creative work of diasporic living. Her poems have appeared in Narrative\, The Seventh Wave\, West Branch\, and many other journals\, and she has received material support from the Academy of American Poets\, the University of Washington\, Mineral School\, Crosstown Arts\, and Tin House. She teaches Language Arts in the Seattle Public Schools\, where embodiment and care root her personal\, poetic\, and pedagogical practice. Her debut book\, Dear Memphis\, will be published by River River Books in January 2024.
