The traces she finds--the flow of international commodities implied in a plosive consonant, an image of the world's nations convening to reject the full stop--retrieve a personal history between countries (Afghanistan and the United States) and languages (Persian and English) that has been constantly disrupted and distorted by war, governments, and media. Hussaini sees the subjectivity emerging out of these traces as mirroring the governments to whom she has been subject, blurring the line between her identity and her legal identification. The poems of \u003ci\u003eDisbound\u003c\/i\u003e seek beauty and understanding in sadness and confusion, and find the chance for love in displacement, even as the space for reconciliation in politics and thought seems to get narrower.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hajar Hussaini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609388674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609388676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Hajar Hussaini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073030123775,"sku":"9781609388676","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b504d864-419c-484e-a359-5b780bcb8657.jpg?v=1685445388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disbound-hajar-hussaini-9781609388676","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
