SUMMARY:Zeina Hashem Beckin conversation with Hala Alyan
DESCRIPTION:From a “brilliant\, absolutely essential voice” whose “poems feel like whole worlds” (Naomi Shihab Nye)\, a poetry collection considering the body physical\, the body politic\, and the body sacred. \nZeina Hashem Beck writes at the intersection of the divine and the profane\, where she crafts elegant\, candid poems that simultaneously exude a boundless curiosity and a deep knowingness. \nFormally electrifying—from lyrics and triptychs to ghazals and Zeina’s own duets\, in which English and Arabic echo and contradict each other—O explores the limits of language\, notions of home and exile\, and stirring visions of motherhood\, memory\, and faith. \n  \nZeina Hashem Beck is a Lebanese poet. Her third full-length poetry collection\, O\, is forthcoming from Penguin Books in July 2022. Her collection Louder than Hearts won the 2016 May Sarton New Hampshire Poetry Prize.

Her work has appeared in The Atlantic\, The Nation\, The New York Times\, Poetry\, Ploughshares\, World Literature Today\, the Academy of American Poets\, and elsewhere. Educated in Arabic\, English\, and French\, Zeina has a BA and an MA in English Literature from the American University of Beirut. Zeina’s invented The Duet\, a bilingual poetic form where English and Arabic exist separately and in relationship to each other. Her poem “Maqam” won Poetry Magazine’s 2017 Frederick Bock Prize. She’s the co-creator and co-host\, with poet Farah Chamma\, of Maqsouda\, a podcast about Arabic poetry. After a lifetime in Lebanon and a decade in Dubai\, Zeina recently moved to California. \n  \nHala Alyan is the author of the novel Salt Houses\, winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and the Arab American Book Award and a finalist for the Chautauqua Prize. Her latest novel\, The Arsonists’ City\, was published in March 2021 and was a finalist for the 2022 Aspen Words Literary Prize. She is also the author of four award-winning collections of poetry\, most recently The Twenty-Ninth Year. Her work has been published by The New Yorker\, The Academy of American Poets\, LitHub\, The New York Times Book Review\, and  Guernica.

SUMMARY:The Markaz Review BookGroup: Mai Al-Nakib's 'An Unlasting Home'
DESCRIPTION:When you live in a conservative society\, you run the risk of censure. How far should a philosophy professor stick her neck out to make a point? Would you put it all on the line in the pursuit of truth or justice\, or whatever informs your intent? \nAn Unlasting Home\, by award-winning short story writer Mai Al-Nakib\, opens in the summer of 2013. Sara Tarek Al-Ameed\, a professor of philosophy at the Kuwait University for eleven years\, is in the midst of preparing a paper arguing the importance of supplementing the religious curriculum with an early introduction to philosophy at the level of primary public school education in Kuwait. However\, a phone recording by one of the munaqaba girls in her intro to philosophy class (in which she is heard arguing that “God is dead”) has been passed on to the most conservative member of the Kuwaiti Parliament — a Salafi\, who has filed a complaint. Sara is arrested at her home and charged with blasphemy\, a capital crime that comes with the threat of execution\, under the newly amended Kuwaiti penal code. In the author’s note\, Al-Nakib explains that although such an amendment did in fact come to pass by a wide majority of the elected parliament in 2013\, the Emir of Kuwait\, who holds authority over all amendments of laws\, rejected it. This work of fiction\, explains the author\, imagines otherwise. (From the review by Rana Asfour.) \nSunday\, Sept. 25\, with novelist Mai Al-Nakib\, moderated by Rana Asfour. \nTo join the BookGroup (free\, all welcome)\, send your name to books@themarkaz.org today.
