Over the past three decades, she has crafted a voice that is ferocious and tender, street-smart and vulnerable. Her early work captures the energies of Cairo's legendary literary \u003ci\u003ebohème\u003c\/i\u003e, a home for Lovers of cheap weed and awkward confessions \/ Anti-State agitators and People like me. These are poems of wit and rage, freaked by moments of sudden beauty, like the smell of guava mysteriously wafting through the City of the Dead. Other poems bear witness to agonizing loss and erotic temptation, the breath of two bodies that never had enough time \/ and so took pleasure in their mounting terror. Mersal's most recent work illuminates the trials of displacement and migration, as well as the risks of crossing boundaries, personal and political, in literature and in life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Threshold \u003c\/i\u003egathers poems from Mersal's\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus \u0026 Giroux Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52083954352471,"sku":"9780374607852","price":13.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780374607852.jpg?v=1762204487","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/threshold-9780374607852","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
