“The Earth in the Attic reads like a quiet storm of human emotions and experiences. . . . Joudah's poems explore loss, displacement, suffering, and longing. They drift from the personal and specific to the larger stories of peoples and nations that Joudah encounters. . . . [His] unique talent is to offer poetry readers a look at a wounded and fractured world through his eyes.”—Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, Institute for Middle East Understanding Winner of the Yale Younger Poets competition, 2007 In The Earth in the Attic, Fady Joudah, a Palestinian-American physician, explores big themes—identity, war, religion, what we hold in common—while never losing sight of the quotidian, the specific. Contest judge Louise Glück describes the poet in her Foreword as “that strange animal, the lyric poet in whom circumstance and profession . . . have compelled obsession with large social contexts and grave national dilemmas.” She finds in his poetry an incantatory quality and concludes, “These are small poems, many of them, but the grandeur of conception is inescapable. The Earth in the Attic is varied, coherent, fierce, tender; impossible to put down, impossible to forget.”

An exquisite and humane collection set to leave its mark on American poetics of the body and the body politic.In Footnotes in the Order of Disappearance, Fady Joudah has written love poems to the lovely and unlovely, the loved and unloved. Here he celebrates moments of delight and awe with his wife, his mentors, his friends, and the beauty of the natural world. Yet he also finds tenderness for the other, the dead, and the disappeared, bringing together the language of medicine with the language of desire in images at once visceral and vulnerable. A symptomatic moon. A peach, quartered like a heart, and a heart, quartered like a peach. “I call the finding of certain things loss.”Joudah is a translator between the heart and the mind, the flesh and the more-than-flesh, the word body and the world body—and between languages, with a polyglot’s hyperresonant sensibility. In “Sagittal Views,” the book’s middle section, Joudah collaborates with Golan Haji, a Kurdish Syrian writer, to foreground the imaginative act of constructing memory and history. Together they mark the place the past occupies in the body, the cut that “runs deeper than speech.”Generous in its scope, inventive in its movements and syntax, Footnotes in the Order of Disappearance is a richly rewarding and indispensable collection.

A Library Journal Best Book of Poetry of 2021A collection born of polyphony and the rhythms of our cosmos—intimate in its stakes, celestial in its dreams.Tethered to Stars inhabits the deductive tongue of astronomy, the oracular throat of astrology, and the living language of loss and desire. With an analytical eye and a lyrical heart, Fady Joudah shifts deftly between the microscope, the telescope, and sometimes even the horoscope. His gaze lingers on the interior space of a lung, on a butterfly poised on a filament, on the moon temple atop Huayna Picchu, on a dismembered live oak. In each lingering, Joudah shares with readers the palimpsest of what makes us human: “We are other worms / for other silk roads.” The solemn, the humorous, the erotic, the transcendent—all of it, in Joudah’s poems, steeped in the lexicon of the natural world. “When I say honey,” says one lover, “I’m asking you whose pollen you contain.” “And when I say honey,” replies another, “you grip my sweetness / on your life, stigma and anthophile.”Teeming with life but tinged with a sublime proximity to death, Tethered to Stars is a collection that flows “between nuance and essentialization,” from one of our most acclaimed poets.

Finalist for the 2024 National Book Award for PoetryWinner of the 2024 Jackson Poetry PrizeA Reading the West Book Award FinalistFrom one of our most acclaimed contemporary writers, an urgent and essential collection of poems illuminating the visionary presence of Palestinians.Fady Joudah’s powerful sixth collection of poems opens with, “I am unfinished business,” articulating the ongoing pathos of the Palestinian people. A rendering of Joudah’s survivance, [...] speaks to Palestine’s daily and historic erasure and insists on presence inside and outside the ancestral land. Responding to the unspeakable in real time, Joudah offers multiple ways of seeing the world through a Palestinian lens—a world filled with ordinary desires, no matter how grand or tragic the details may be—and asks their reader to be changed by them. The sequences are meditations on a carousel: the past returns as the future is foretold. But “Repetition won’t guarantee wisdom,” Joudah writes, demanding that we resuscitate language “before [our] wisdom is an echo.” These poems of urgency and care sing powerfully through a combination of intimate clarity and great dilations of scale, sending the reader on heartrending spins through echelons of time. […] is a wonder. Joudah reminds us “Wonder belongs to all.”

The Blue Light is an autobiographical novel in chapters and vignettes that travels through memory, time, and language.Hussein Bargouthi tells his story with Bari, a Turkish American Sufi, during Bargouthi’s years as a graduate student at the University of Washington in the late 1980s. The Blue Light has several beginnings and many returns—from Beirut’s traumatic sea to musings on color and identity, from Buddhist paths to Rajneesh disciples, from military rule to colonial insanity, from drug addiction to sacred rock. Written and lived between Arabic and English, this is a unique book whose depth is as clear as its surface. It will tempt you to dismiss it as it compels you to devour it for illumination. Merging memoir with fiction, and the hallowed with the profane, The Blue Light is a meditation on and liberation from madness—a brilliant, inimitable literary achievement.

"innehåller bland annat den oförglömliga Dedikation, som redan framstår som en klassiker. Med långsamma reflektioner över hur krigets språk tar sig in i perceptionen och sinnena, dikter som rymmer både humor och kärlek, framträder en djupt existentiell erfarenhet"

Sydsvenskan

"Att skriva fram en vision om framtid mitt i den största ödeläggelsen tycks ofattbart, men Joudahs generationsöverskridande vision visar vad palestinsk historia kan lära världen inte om död utan om överlevnad"

Dagens Nyheter

”Till dem som kommer att mördas under krigets sista dag. Till dem som kommer att mördas under den första dagen efter kriget. Till dem som förgås av skräck under humanitära pauser. En timme innan uppehållet, en minut efter. Till dem som dör av brustet hjärta under och efter kriget.”

[…] är den palestinsk-amerikanske poeten Fady Joudahs första bok på svenska. Den skrevs senhösten och vintern 2023, med utgångspunkt i Gaza, och gestaltar poetiskt och egensinnigt det stycke nutidshistoria som Joudah kallar för "utplåningens tid". I dikter som spänner mellan humor och sorg, som både rymmer barnteckningens grälla färger och djup cynism, skildrar Joudah räddningsarbetare täckta i damm som drar fram en flicka ur rasmassorna, skräckslagna grodungar, minnen av barndomslekar och gamla kärlekar, meditationer kring medeltida arabiska poeter och deras möten med verkliga och uppdiktade vargar, språkets kollaps och "imperiets stumma gamar, med sina utredningar om kadaver de inte har dödat." .

Fady Joudah är en palestinsk-amerikansk poet född 1971. Han har gett ut sex prisade diktsamlingar och översatt Mahmoud Darwish, Ghassan Zaqtan och Amjad Nasser från arabiska till engelska.
