Our Latest Title: Hagar Before the Occupation, Hagar After the Occupation

"In spare, vivid, and poundingly heartfelt language, [al-Jubouri] shows us her country before the occupation by U.S. troops and afterward . . . these poems have a timeless, haunting quality, and they offer not just enormous pleasure but understanding."

—Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal starred review

My Body Before the Occupation

—Uranium for weapons, disarmed

Ammunition for wars to come

A loaf of hot bread

aching to be eaten

My Body After the Occupation

—Unable to reach heights of pleasure

Disabled little deaths

I hate their crowning moans
