Press & Reviews

“[One Hundred Hungers] is inventively structured, mixing personal lyrics with a series of short, gnomic and haunting vignettes that seem to reside almost outside of time. And the particular diaspora which the book derives from—capturing the experience of an Iraqi-Jewish immigrant family—makes for a still more complicated stance, one of exile within exile, as it were. . . . . It’s a haunting and powerful book.”
— David Wojahn, judge for the Dorset Prize

“I tuned in today to the Live Stream from DIWAN, and watched you read your remarkable poems. I just wanted to tell you how moved and touched I was by your incredible, compelling precision in mapping out, so beautifully, your personal and familial memories. The reading itself was a captivating work of art. In respect and admiration”
—Anton Shammas, writer, poet and translator

“Her words speak of the essential mystery of human experience, but also reconciliation of seeming opposites. The poet tells us ‘listen. Yes, listen.’ Strong advice in today’s world, torn as it is by dissension.”
—Miriam Sagan, writer
