In Atrium, award-winning Palestinian-American poet Hala Alyan
traces lines of global issues in personal spaces, with fervently
original imagery, and a fierce passion and intense intimacy that
echoes long after initial reading.
The book received the 2013 Arab American Book of the Year Award for
Poetry, an astounding achievement for a first collection. In
addition, Alyan was recently tapped as a finalist in the Nazim
Himet Poetry Competition.
Already in her young career, Alyan has etched her mark on other
award-winning poets who are universal in their praise: "Don't miss
the dazzling Hala Alyan. Wow. When she says 'the poetry like a
spear, ' she isn't kidding." --Naomi Shihab Nye; "Hala Alyan's
poems startle us with their beautiful, enigmatic images and capture
us with their passionate engagement with the world. A powerful
debut." --Chitra Divakaruni; "For all the stunning angularity in
this vision, we do not doubt that what we are seeing and sensing
here is a surprising, sharp-edged sense of the real, of a world
that had been there all along, just waiting for this poet and these
poems to reveal. Start to finish, these poems convey a singular
vision and represent an important new voice in the international
poetry arena." --Fred Marchant
Hala Alyan's Atrium is truly a remarkable debut by a poet of
stunning virtuosity and range.
