Something about Living

<p><strong>Shortlisted for the PEN Heaney Prize 2025</strong> </p><p><strong>Poetry Book Society Recommendation</strong></p><p><em>Something about Living</em> is the brilliant third collection from acclaimed poet Lena Khalaf Tuffaha.</p><p>It explores Palestinian life through the lens of language, revealing a legacy of obfuscation and erasure. What happens when language only permits ongoing disasters to be packaged neatly for consumption and subsequent disposal? Searing with insights from the perspective of a Palestinian in diaspora, <em>Something about Living</em> refuses to cede ground to nihilism and apathy, taking the reader through the difficult landscape of hope and futurity in the midst of an interminable, uncertain, and often devastating present.</p>
