Summary:
"In this affecting
poetry
debut, Charif Shanahan explores what it means to be fully human in our wounded and divided world. In poised yet unrelenting lyric poems, Shanahan - queer and mixed-race - confronts the challenges of a complex cultural inheritance, informed by colonialism and his mother's immigration to the United States from Morocco, navigating racial constructs, sexuality, family, and the globe in search of "who we are to each other ... who we are to ourselves." With poems that weave from Marrakesh to Zürich to London, through history to the present day, this book is, on its surface, an uncompromising exploration of
identity
in personal and collective terms. Yet the collection is, most deeply, about intimacy and love, the inevitability of human separation and the challenge of human connection. Urging us to reexamine our own place in the broader human tapestry, it announces the arrival of a powerful and necessary new voice. Charif Shanahan was born in the Bronx in 1983 to an Irish-American father and a Moroccan mother. He holds an MFA in
poetry
from New York University. His poems have appeared in Baffler, Boston Review, Callaloo, Literary Hub, New Republic,
Poetry
International, Prairie Schooner, and elsewhere. He is a Wallace Stegner Fellow in
Poetry
at Stanford University"--Provided by publisher.
