!['Fady Joudah's [...] is a collection that captures so much. It is an important lyrical document that is, in a sense, infinite - unfinished - and perhaps it will always be so. Even when Palestine is free, the poems in this volume will live in a space of deep contexture. They are mimetic. The poems exist beyond the lines within them. They are in everyone and everything Joudah names in 'Dedication', the beautifully poignant and powerful penultimate poem, an embrace that begins:
To those whose memory, imagination, and bodies are my memory, imagination, and body. From the collective to the one under the same assault, no matter our location on Earth.
As well as the space within, [...] gestures also toward that which lives outside of the brackets of the title and in the expanse 'from gleaming river/ to glistening sea'.
- Alycia Pirmohamed on [...] by Fady Joudah,
