<b>NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2022 BY <i>LIT HUB </i>AND THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY <br></b><br><b></b><i><b>O </b></i><b>is so full of music and passion for life . . . Zeina Hashem Beck's poems unfold the abundance of our world. --Ilya Kaminsky author of </b><i><b>Deaf Republic</b></i> <p/><b>From a brilliant absolutely essential voice whose poems feel like whole worlds (Naomi Shihab Nye) a poetry collection considering the body physical the body politic and the body sacred</b> <p/>Zeina Hashem Beck writes at the intersection of the divine and the profane where she crafts elegant candid poems that simultaneously exude a boundless curiosity and a deep knowingness. Formally electrifying--from lyrics and triptychs to ghazals and Zeina's own duets in which English and Arabic echo and contradict each other--<i>O </i>explores the limits of language notions of home and exile and stirring visions of motherhood memory and faith.
