Description: Tethered to Stars by Fady Joudah Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From Fady Joudah, an elegant collection of poems that shifts deftly between the microscope, the telescope, and the horoscope. Publisher Description ALibrary JournalBest Book of Poetry of 2021A collection born of polyphony and the rhythms of our cosmos-intimate in its stakes, celestial in its dreams.Tethered to Starsinhabits the deductive tongue of astronomy, the oracular throat of astrology, and the living language of loss and desire. With an analytical eye and a lyrical heart, Fady Joudah shifts deftly between the microscope, the telescope, and sometimes even the horoscope. His gaze lingers on the interior space of a lung, on a butterfly poised on a filament, on the moon temple atop Huayna Picchu, on a dismembered live oak. In each lingering, Joudah shares with readers the palimpsest of what makes us human: "We are other worms / for other silk roads." The solemn, the humorous, the erotic, the transcendent-all of it, in Joudahs poems, steeped in the lexicon of the natural world. "When I sayhoney," says one lover, "Im asking you whose pollen you contain." "And when I sayhoney," replies another, "you grip my sweetness / on your life, stigma and anthophile."Teeming with life but tinged with a sublime proximity to death,Tethered to Starsis a collection that flows "between nuance and essentialization," from one of our most acclaimed poets. Author Biography Fady Joudah has published four collections of poems, The Earth in the Attic; Alight; Textu, a book-long sequence of short poems whose meter is based on cellphone character count; and, most recently, Footnotes in the Order of Disappearance. He has translated several collections of poetry from the Arabic and is the coeditor and cofounder of the Etel Adnan Poetry Prize. He was a winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets competition in 2007 and has received a PEN award, a Banipal/Times Literary Supplement prize from the UK, the Griffin Poetry Prize, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He lives in Houston, with his wife and kids, where he practices internal medicine.
