    Summary: 
    Wanting in Arabic is a refusal of convenient silences, convenient stories. The author dwells on the contradictions of a transsexual poetics, in its attendant disfigurations of lyric, ghazal, l'ecriture feminine, and, in particular, her own sexed voice. Without a memory of her father's language, the questions her poems ask are those for a home known through photographs, for a language lost with childhood. Braiding theoretical concerns with the ambivalences of sexed and raced identity, with profound romanticism, Wanting in Arabic attempts to traverse the fantasies of foundational loss and aggressive nostalgia in order to further a poetics of a conscious partiality of being, of generous struggle and comic rather than tragic misrecognition. Wanting in Arabic was first published in 2002, and reissued in this new edition in 2013. Her second book, Lyric Sexology Vol. 1 was released in 2014. Salah was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is of Lebanese and Irish Canadian heritage. She studied creative writing at Concordia University in Montreal, and subsequently completed a Ph.D. in English Literature at York University in Toronto. She is Assistant Professor of Women’s & Gender Studies in the Faculty of Arts of the University of Winnipeg. Her creative and scholarly work addresses transgender and transsexual themes, as well as questions of diasporic Arab identity, anti-racism, queer politics and economic and social justice. Her poetry moves between and combines traditional and experimental forms.
