Abstract:"Fugitive Atlas is a sweeping, impassioned account of refugee crises, military occupations, and ecological degradation, an acute, probing journey through a world in upheaval. Khaled Mattawa's chorus of speakers finds moments of profound solace in searching for those lost-in elegy and prayer-even when the power of poem and faith seems incapable of providing salvation.

In this exquisite collection, Mattawa asks how we are expected to endure our times, how we inherit the journeys of our ancestors, and how we let loose those we love into an unpredictable world"--
