A Dress of Locusts by Safa Khatib PRE-ORDER
Published 19th June 2025. Available for pre-order.
An electrifying debut collection exploring langage and revolution, by an extraordinary new poetic talent Woven from threads of Aramaic, Spanish, Ancient Greek, Sumerian and Arabic, A Dress of Locusts is an unforgettable song cycle in which the living and dead sing back and forth to one another. Here, Safa Khatib participates in a poetic tradition Jerome Rothenberg once called the "Revolution of the Word', journeying across the possibilities of language in search of its capacity to render self and world refreshingly anew.
