It is also a book of births and the politics of birth-regimes. Recounting a journey to bear a Palestinian child in the occupied Palestinian territory, the poems conjure up maternity as forecast, tally, weapon; its many filtrations through liturgical command and demographic anxiety. Maternity is made possible through contingent access to Israel's sophisticated fertility treatment infrastructure, and it's made impossible as it coincides with Israel's 2009 assault on the Gaza Strip. What kind of language, then, can hold a body inside a body through emergency, diminishment, and into resistance and bloom? What kind of language might hold precarious humanhood? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Most significantly, \u003ci\u003eQuiet Orient Riot \u003c\/i\u003easks of itself, without release or relief: can a text seek linguistic disorientation and reorientation both?
