She carries with her a dread of what she may face with her husband's disease in a Muslim country. In beautifully-executed and moving poetic forms, she takes the reader with her through the landscapes of Ramadan and his alcoholism, family histories with drunkenness and rehab, and her moments of stillness when she is alone with mint tea and her journal. We feel how hard it is to stuff love, fear, and compassion in a suitcase just to unpack again in a new port of call.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Tricia Knoll, Contest Judge, 2019, author of \u003cem\u003eHow I Learned to Be White\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBroadfork Farm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Lauren Tivey is an uncanny poet, conjuring metaphor and image to convey the tale of a husband and wife at the edge of love's limit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Holly Iglesias, author of \u003cem\u003eSleeping Things\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"These poems, gathered so astutely in \u003cem\u003eMoroccan Holiday\u003c\/em\u003e, have such exquisite and crisp detail that they will haunt you for a while.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Virgil Suarez, author of \u003cem\u003e90 Miles: Selected and New Poems\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.12 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 10, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42704730423359,"sku":"9781948461375","price":16.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ae1c984a87261a8b78629626faf3d6ac.webp?v=1765034326","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/moroccan-holiday-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
