Tracing losses both interpersonal and universal from a mothers failing heart to environmental and economic decline ravaging ancestral homelands OUTSIDE THE JOY is a compendium of abundance in a world rife with want. With a voice as singular as it is illuminating, Awad explores the sharp contrasts of our shared existence: the human capacity to hurt and to hold one another, the love and grief that grow from our ephemeral connectedness. These poems unearth the sacred in the ordinary and invite you to do the same if only / youll let the world / soften you with its touching.
