Shortlisted for the PEN Heaney Prize 2025Poetry Book Society RecommendationSomething about Living is the brilliant third collection from acclaimed poet Lena Khalaf Tuffaha.It explores Palestinian life through the lens of language, revealing a legacy of obfuscation and erasure. What happens when language only permits ongoing disasters to be packaged neatly for consumption and subsequent disposal? Searing with insights from the perspective of a Palestinian in diaspora, Something about Living refuses to cede ground to nihilism and apathy, taking the reader through the difficult landscape of hope and futurity in the midst of an interminable, uncertain, and often devastating present.
