Edited and translated from Arabic by Tayseer Abu Odeh and Sherah Bloor, \u003ci\u003eYou Must Live\u003c\/i\u003e gathers the voices of poets currently living in Palestinian territory--some of whom have never left. Contributors write in the wake of current atrocities, from precarious situations, and from beyond what is endurable, with their lives at stake. Yet, \u003ci\u003eYou Must Live\u003c\/i\u003e refuses to cast these poets as perpetual victims. Diverse voices and styles shine through--highly inventive, imaginative, knowledgeable, powerful, prayerful, theatrical, and even often humorous. There are love letters to the landscape, elegies for martyrs and homes, a lamentation from the bar, and proclamations for the future. \"Is there safe passage? \/ Those who know these roads carry lanterns-- \/ our country's addresses are forever.\" Negotiating the interplay between aesthetics and politics, the individual and the collective, \u003ci\u003eYou Must Live\u003c\/i\u003e is a counter to the widespread dehumanization of Palenstinians, an urgent call to the global community. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sherah Bloor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556597207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556597206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sherah Bloor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838230089983,"sku":"9781556597206","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6df94641-1d22-414b-89ad-5b74664e1626.jpg?v=1746589213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-must-live-sherah-bloor-9781556597206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
