Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. In EVOLUTION OF STONE, Ghannam illustrates her identity with striking imagery and gorgeous language that leaves the reader feeling as though they have just flipped through a photo album as well as a book of poetry. A love letter to her Palestinian ancestors, her mother, and to herself, this collection is a vulnerable extension of Ghannam's own heart with snap shots of her journey that showcase her powerful progression from daughter, to wife, to her well-deserved declaration of divinity as she writes, I am new. I am fight...I make new worlds./I. Am. Ghannam calls to her readers to look inside themselves and find their own strengths separate from and for the betterment of their surroundings--This avalanche rages from the deep, and it sounds like my name. A call to arms, a call to love, and a call to justice, this book is as timely as it is timeless.
