"“On the bridges to those slippery worlds, we are wrapped in gold foil, disease free. Who is saving whom? The question’s not stated, only implied.” In 2013, the Italian government implemented Mare Nostrum, an operation intended to limit immigration from Africa and the Middle East to European countries. For the refugees, the journeys were harrowing, often ending in shipwrecks or imprisonment, and the arrivals were wracked with uncertainty ..."

"“When I first read Khaled Mattawa’s Tocqueville some years ago, it rewired my brain and pummeled my heart. A daring meditation on what it means to be a poet and a citizen at the center of American empire, Tocqueville was an astonishing departure from Mattawa’s previous lyrically driven work, declaring that it no longer suffices to sing— even to sing of dark times, as Bertolt Brecht proposed. Reading these poems today, in this timely sec ..."

" A volume in the Poets on Poetry series, which collects critical works by contemporary poets, gathering together the articles, interviews, and book reviews by which they have articulated the poetics of a new generation. “Like the myriad companions and comrades that he summons from their exile, Khaled Mattawa is himself a ‘poet-stranger.’ In the essays, ‘written in a poet’s prose,’ collected in How Long Have You Been With Us, Mattawa ev ..."
" As a writer starting out in the early 1990s, Khaled Mattawa begins Meet the Poet-Stranger, the essay that opens this collection, I wanted the company of fellow immigrants who worked in the language of their adopted homelands, chiseling away at their exile and making a home for themselves in poetry. Throughout his career, Mattawa s thoughtful and politically astute considerations of what it means to create as a poet-stranger, particular ..."

"Poetry. "In his masterful fourth collection, Khaled Mattawa is concerned, above all, with the ramifications of a new global culture that most American poets have thus far ignored and neglected, partly out of incomprehension, partly out of fear. By setting himself against such timidity, Mattawa offers his most sustained and experimental reckoning with matters of cultural and social witness. TOCQUEVILLE is part personal lyric, part jeremi ..."

""Fareedah — my ... his mother." Without looking at her, Mahmoud described that
day his first wife had succumbed to the cancer that "ate up her insides." He spoke
the entire time in a level voice that gradually dropped with each additional detail
he disclosed to Shireen. She sat perplexed; he had never once mentioned her by
name, and now the ghost seemed to gain flesh and bone, joining them at the
table like a vague acquaintance. "S ..."

"Iman Mersal's singing of the dark shimmers; her charting of the cold warms at least this heart. She shows us how love exists against itself, how the human heart is often in conflict with its own nature, and how this imperfect state survives its own imperfections and rises to something resembling joy. Khaled Mattawa's translation should not only be commended on its fidelity, but its exceptional talent and sensitivity. He has once more co ..."
