A rendering of Joudah's survivance, \u003ci\u003e[...]\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to Palestine's daily and historic erasure and insists on presence inside and outside the ancestral land. \u003cbr\u003eResponding 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. \u003ci\u003e[...]\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis a wonder.
