About this ebook
• First "ebook only" from Copper Canyon Press
• Joudah’s first collection, Earth In the Attic, won the Yale Younger Series of Books award in 2007, selected by Louise Gluck.
• Fady Joudah is a poet-humanitarian: his work with Doctors Without Borders (especially in Zambia and Darfur) and poetry are inextricable.
• Joudah is the award-winner translator of the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish.
• Although the son of two Palestinian refugees, Joudah believes that the situation of the Palestinians is just one tragedy among others. Says Joudah, “It's the same tragedy of other millions of people, past and present.”
• He was born in Texas, grew up in Libya and Saudi Arabia, then returned to Texas for college.
• When Joudah was younger, he couldn’t choose between being a doctor and being a poet. His father encouraged him to became a doctor first, then a poet.
• Joudah chooses to write in English rather than Arabic
