Birthright by George Abraham
3.0

Thank you to Button Poetry and NetGalley for this Advanced Reader's Copy!

Available April 7th!

In "Birthright", Palestinian American poet George Abraham cultivates a sense of mania. He speaks eloquently about loss, hope and ultimately captures a truth about living. Living in a country that renders you invisible, living in a state that renders you an enemy, living in a culture that considers your mental health and sexual orientation a blasphemy. Each poem is saturated with energy and love, a deep respect for his Palestinian heritage and a strong appreciation for American spirit. A great collection from a rising poet!
