Book Synopsis

''Safa Khatib's poems open my eyes, sharpen my ears'' SAFIA ELHILLO
''With a meditative clarity, Khatib calls us to account for the ways we have and continue to turn eyes away from the historic now'' NIKI HERD

An electrifying debut collection exploring language and revolution, by an extraordinary new poetic talent

Woven from threads of Aramaic, Spanish, Ancient Greek, Sumerian and Arabic, A Dress of Locusts is an unforgettable song cycle in which the living and dead sing back and forth to one another. Here, Safa Khatib journeys across the possibilities of language and self, asking us to dwell in the thresholds between the ''old'' and the ''new''.
