Lena Tuffaha: U-M English Department Zell Visiting Writers Series
Reading by this Palestinian American poet, translator, and essayist, whose work often focuses on Palestinians and the Palestinian diaspora. Her most recent book of poetry, 2024’s Something About Living, won the National Book Award for poetry. The website Literary Hub called it “as playful as it is piercing,” and “full of impossible cohesions, offering [a] straight-on singularity of body and mind to birds, grammars, and architectures.” Q&A. Also, tomorrow Tuffaha gives a free craft lecture (10–11 a.m., Michigan Union, Anderson Rm.). 5:30–6:30 p.m., UMMA Stern Auditorium, 525 S. State. Free. [email protected].
