{"product_id":"my-name-on-his-tongue-poems-9780815632948","title":"My Name on His Tongue: Poems","description":"Best-selling novelist and PEN Award winner Halaby presents readers with her first collection of poetry. Intensely personal and marked with a trenchant wit, these poems form a memoir following Halaby's life as they explore the disorientation of exile, the challenge of navigating two cultures, and the struggle to shape her own creative identity. She shares the pain and confusion of growing up--the need for belonging and the solace of community--with tenderness and fearless candor. Rooted in her Middle Eastern heritage, these poems illuminate the Arab American experience over the last quarter century. Turning away from all that is esoteric and remote in American poetry today, Halaby's lucid and forthright voice speaks to and for a large audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laila Halaby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815632948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaila Halaby\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of two novels, \u003ci\u003eWest of the Jordan\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the PEN Beyond Margins Award) and \u003ci\u003eOnce in a Promised Land. \u003c\/i\u003eShe lives with her family in Tucson, Arizona.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40424470446195,"sku":"9.78082E+12","price":20.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_b045a01e-b2f2-4917-bac7-ae9a5450f2d9.jpg?v=1662559146","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/my-name-on-his-tongue-poems-9780815632948","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
