With anatomical precision, Joudah illustrates scenes that are at once uncanny and contemporary, be it a Bedouin womans lavender mourning veil, the chrome doors to an alchemists home, or the mysterious speaker in Smoke, who exits abruptly and claims to have scripts to write and scrolls to find, a testament to the duties of attending physician and displaced poet alike. In both roles, Joudah has records to keep and history to revisit, and does so beautifully.--Booklist nJoudahs poetry is rich with the influences and styles of both American and Arabic poetry. It can be personal and image-driven, by turns, as well as discursive and social. Its lyric gifts are as powerful as its narrative impulse.--Kenyon Review nThroughout Alights carefully structured arc of movement and within its individual poems, the quotidian resides within the mythic. Joudahs is an art written out of experience, rather than about it...Poetry like Joudahs strikes a match into our dark places.--Poet Lore nThe poems in Alight alternate between the estranging familial and strangely familiar, between burning and illumination. As father, husband, and physician, Fady Joudah gives children and vulnerable others voice in this hauntingly lyrical collection, where, with quiet ferociousness, ones self can be reclaimed from sufferings grip over mind and spirit.Fady Joudah is a Palestinian-American poet, translator, and physician of internal medicine. He received his medical training from the Medical College of Georgia and University of Texas, and served with Doctors Without Borders in 2002 and 2005.
