A Goat in a Tequila Cup - Paperback

by Faleeha Hassan (Author)

Hassan's poetry draws us into her unique experiences from Iraq to Turkey to the U.S. of a life lived always surrounded by war, loss, and loneliness but searching for life and love. Through this collection from an award-winning, internationally-recognized poet, the reader can wait "in a secret garden," lying in the grass, and let the words "grow on your tongue" and "jump into the heart artery." She invites us to "keep moving, breathing" and to focus on the fortune of being alive. This is the book we need for living in these times.
