The son of a Palestinian immigrant, Catafago writes passionately of the generational trauma he bears--and how that trauma is magnified by Israel's horrific war against the people of Gaza. His words are lyrical, but simple and direct--meant to be spoken as much as read. The title of his book, SUMUD, comes from the Arabic word for steadfastness.
“These spare, plain-spoken poems are rich with Palestinian echoes: ghosts and memory and miracles, loss and longing and hope.”
~Lisa Suhair Majaj, award-winning poet and scholar
“I’m very moved by the original, clear voice of Paul Catafago. We need his poems. “
Naomi Shihab Nye, award-winning poet, editor & anthologist.
In the spring of 1974, a troubled young man set out on a cobbled together BMW motorcycle, bound for Alaska. He stopped off to see an old girlfriend in Santa Fe, and remained in New Mexico for six years. These poems and stories were inspired by that sojourn. They include excerpts from Abrams' novel, The Journeys of Jack Isaksen.
Rief's book is a collection of poetry and stories grouped by themes--ranging from the author's youth, to his career as a junior and senior high school teacher, to his wife (and muse). His voice is raw and direct, no doubt formed by his domineering father, and by his experiences in combat during WWII. This book is about his search for redemption.
There is no power
so great as love . . .
So begins this chapbook, with an invocation by William Carlos Williams. Its poems ranges from Ovidian couplets to free verse, exploring love in its various forms, from eros, to the connections that tie families together. Abrams mourns the lovers he lost and the relationships he bungled: it was as though he had an uncanny knack for failure. But he cops to his bad choices, and bears this with humor, irony, and wit.
