The January children / Safia Elhillo ; foreword by Kwame Dawes. by Elhillo, Safia. University of Nebraska Press, 2017. Call #: 811.6 E41j Subjects Refugees -- Poetry.   Sudanese poetry (English) -- Women authors.   Sudanese Americans -- Poetry.   American poetry -- Black authors.   American poetry -- Women authors.   American poetry -- 21st century.   Sudan -- Poetry. Series African poetry book series. ISBN:  9780803295988 (pbk.) Description:  xviii, 63 pages ; 23 cm. Notes:  Poems. Some copies may be permabound. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "The January Children depicts displacement and longing while also questioning accepted truths about geography, history, nationhood, and home. The poems mythologize family histories until they break open, using them to explore aspects of Sudan's history of colonial occupation, dictatorship, and diaspora. Several of the poems speak to the late Egyptian singer Abdelhalim Hafez, who addressed many of his songs to the asmarani - an Arabic term of endearment for a brown-skinned or dark-skinned person. Elhillo explores Arabness and Africanness and the tensions generated by a hyphenated identity in those two worlds. No longer content to accept manmade borders, Elhillo navigates a new and reimagined world. Maintaining a sense of wonder in multiple landscapes and mindscapes of perpetually shifting values, she leads the reader through a postcolonial narrative that is equally terrifying and tender, melancholy and defiant. Safia Elhillo is poetry editor at Kinfolks Quarterly. She is the author of The Life and Times of Susie Knuckles."--Provided by publisher. "Safia Elhillo is a Sudanese-American poet famous for her written and spoken poetry. Elhillo received a BA from the Gallatain School at New York University and an MFA in poetry from The New School. Elhillo is best known for her slam poetry performances and has performed all around the world. Elhillo currently teaches at Split This Rock."--From wikipedia.org website. Genre:  American poetry.
