Footnotes in the Order of Disappearance: Poems by Fady Joudah
5.0
“Polyglot
in which language do you dream
and in which
will we speak in heaven”
I had the opportunity to meet Fady at AWP several years ago in Portland after his panel and was so excited to pick up this collection. His use of specifically anatomical language as a doctor was foreign to me in this kind of writing and I did have to pause to look things up every so often to ensure I was fully understanding the imagery he was using, but it is well worth it.
