| 1 | My Voice Sought the Wind | 2013 | Susan Abulhawa | Buy |
My Voice Sought the Wind is Susan Abulhawa’s poetry collection, published in 2013 between her first and second novels. The poems deal with the same themes that run through her fiction: displacement, memory, the longing for a homeland, and the experience of living between cultures.
The collection shows a different side of Abulhawa’s writing from her novels. Poetry allows her to work in compressed, lyrical forms that capture specific moments and emotions. For readers who know her through Mornings in Jenin, this collection offers a more personal and immediate window into her voice as a writer.
