Fady Joudah's The Earth in the Attic is the 2007 winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets competition. In his poems Joudah explores big themes-identity, war, religion, what we hold in common-while never losing sight of the "idian, the specific. Contest judge Louise Gl?ck describes the poet in her Foreword as "that strange animal, the lyric poet in whom circumstance and profession . . . have compelled obsession with large social contexts and grave national dilemmas." She finds in his poetry an incantatory quality and concludes, "These are small poems, many of them, but the grandeur of conception is inescapable. The Earth in the Attic is varied, coherent, fierce, tender; impossible to put down, impossible to forget." No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

“Sleeping Trees” is based on accompanying his father on a visit to his home village and is representative of how his poetry reflects the experience of the returning exile.
I found Joudah to be at his best when merging his experience as a physician with his humanitarian concerns. My favorite in this collection is “Pulse”, a poem delivered in 15 sections. In her introduction, Louise Gluck notes the likelihood that it is set in Darfur, where Joudah served with Doctors Without Borders. .
