Joudah's poems explore loss, displacement, suffering, and longing. They drift from the personal and specific to the larger stories of peoples and nations that Joudah encounters. . . . [His] unique talent is to offer poetry readers a look at a wounded and fractured world through his eyes."&;Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, The Institute for Middle East Understanding Winner of the Yale Younger Poets competition, 2007 In The Earth in the Attic Fady Joudah, a Palestinian-American physician, explores big themes&;identity, war, religion, what we hold in common&;while never losing sight of the quotidian, the specific. Contest judge Louise Glück describes the poet in her Foreword as &;that strange animal, the lyric poet in whom circumstance and profession . . . have compelled obsession with large social contexts and grave national dilemmas.&; She finds in his poetry an incantatory quality and concludes, &;These are small poems, many of them, but the grandeur of conception is inescapable. The Earth in the Attic is varied, coherent, fierce, tender; impossible to put down, impossible to forget.&;
