To All the Yellow Flowers

"To All the Yellow Flowers is a narrative poetry collection that tells a story of healing; it's about learning to rebuild, to rekindle. The story, woven of irreparably intertwined identities and ideas, focuses on parallels: those we cannot fully draw, those we do not wish to see, and those between. In her debut collection, Raya Tuffaha tackles questions of Palestinian-American and Muslim identity, mental illness, queerness, femininity, diaspora, belonging, heritage, and the language we use to discuss it all. With focus, care, and a little bit of light, Tuffaha honors every part of her history and present, and in doing so, starts to build her own future"--
