Brief Description
Abraham’s highly anticipated debut poetry collection constructs a dialogue in which “every pronoun is a Free Palestine.” Birthright is a book that balances the weight of place. The pride and shame and worth of homeland. Palestine, a homeland under siege and under scrutiny from a world that doesn’t occupy its borders. Moving through invented and broken poetic forms, Birthright pulls together all corners of the author’s pride in home, but also a desire to understand the violent cycles of the American machinery of war.
