Tahrir Suite is a book-length poem that contemplates
immigration, homeland, and diaspora in the twenty-first century.
The poem, inspired by recent events in Egypt, cycles through the
journey of two Egyptians moving across borders, languages,
cultures, landscapes, and political systems while their life in the
U.S. diaspora evolves and their home country undergoes
revolutionary change.
Written from a perspective and about a place that is virtually
unexplored in contemporary American poetry, "Tahrir Suite "works to
capture the complicated essence of what it means to be from a
specific place that is experiencing such radical change and how our
understandings of "home" and "place" constantly evolve. "Tahrir
Suite "is a musical meditation on what it means to be a global
citizen in contemporary times.
