In Jerusalem and Other Poems, by Tamim Al-Barghouti, is a Arabic poetry collection from Palestine, translated by Radwa Ashour, published by Interlink Pub Group in 2017. It is a collection centered on a city that is never only a city, letting Jerusalem become argument, inheritance, theater, wound, and address. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation, but the chance to let one poet’s particular difficulty create its own weather.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
