Advance praise for O : " O is so full of life, of music and passion for life. In ghazals, odes, revolution songs and invocations of O the world comes vividly alive: 'I carry a name & many cities,' writes Hashem Beck, as her poems unfold the abundance of our world. Abundance, yes: so much tenderness, so much passion in these pages: just one language can't contain it all, so the poet gives us 'Duets,' joining Arabic and English in the same stanza. The lyricism is vehicle of emotional impact--'I Beruited East Houston at first sight,' the poet tells us, and we trust this playfulness and nuance because it is driven by a ritual. Because the ritual isn't separated from the necessity of daily life in these pages. Because most daily things still have a wisp of prayer in them. Because Hashem Beck's prayer isn't shy of calling for revolution, of asking 'to occupy the streets, bring the tires, the sofas, the drums, the blaring cars.' Zeina Hashem Beck's prayer isn't afraid of stories, of new music on your balconies. Listen. Her O brims with the world." --Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic and Dancing in Odessa Praise for the work of Zeina Hashem Beck: "[A] brilliant, absolutely essential voice [whose] poems feel like whole worlds . . . [Beck's] poems weave two languages into a perfect fabric of presence, with an almost mystical sense of pacing and power . . . There is death, loss, disaster, but more importantly, an exquisite sense of reviving language and poetry--anthems of life, love, respect, abounding. Everything Arabic we treasure comes alive in these poems--readers will feel restored to so many homes, revived, amazed." --Naomi Shihab Nye on Louder than Hearts "There isn't a word of falseness, a hint of voguish irony--just a deep love for her subjects and her language and an astonishing ability to relay that in verse . . . There's no simpler way to say: it's actual magic, the kind of magic poetry is uniquely capable of performing. Again and again in the collection, Beck demonstrates herself to be a sincere master of this conjuring." --Kaveh Akbar on Louder than Hearts "Rarely does poetry seem to matter more than while reading the work of Zeina Hashem Beck--a poet of immense talent and passion who is clearly at the beginning of a long and important literary career." -- Rattle Editors on 3arabi Song
