Bayna Bayna: In-Between, Paperback/Zeina Azzam

Using the Arabic words bayna bayna as a nod to her Palestinian Arab heritage, Zeina Azzam 's poetry reflects on the feeling of being in-between home and exile, childhood and adulthood, wholeness and loss, and living and dying. Her poems express a bicultural and bilingual view of the world which is at once enriching, bewildering, and beautiful.
