-- Abrykosy Donbasu :2021., Lost Horse Press Call No: 891.791 Y15a Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Lost Horse Press contemporary Ukrainian poetry series Volume: 7Summary Note: Apricots of Donbass is a bilingual collection by award-winning contemporary Ukrainian poet Lyuba Yakimchuk. Born and raised in a small coal-mining town in Ukraine's industrial east, Yakimchuk lost her family home in 2014 when the region was occupied by Russian-backed militants and her parents and sister were forced to flee as refugees. Reflecting her complex emotional experiences, Yakimchuk's poetry is versatile, ranging from sumptuous verses about the urgency of erotic desire in a war-torn city to imitations of childlike babbling about the tools and toys of military combat. Playfulness in the face of catastrophe is a distinctive feature of Yakimchuk's voice, evoking the legacy of the Ukrainian Futurists of the 1920s. The poems' artfulness go hand in hand with their authenticity, offering intimate glimpses into the story of a woman affected by a life-altering situation beyond her control.

2021., Adult, Penguin Canada Call No: 158.1 Z41w Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Najwa Zebian shares her concept of home to guide readers to embrace their vulnerability, discover their self-worth, and build their own strong foundations from the ground up. In Welcome Home, Najwa shares her own personal story for the first time, powerfully weaving memoir, poetry, and deeply resonant teachings, from leaving war-torn Lebanon for Canada at sixteen, to coming of age as a young Muslim woman in Canada, to sexual harassment that left her alienated from her community, to building a new identity for herself as she learned to speak her truth. She teaches that home is not a physical place, but instead where your soul feels like it belongs, where you are loved for who you are. Every human deserves to own a home within themselves, and Najwa guides you in building this home. She begins by showing how to divide your house into the following rooms: Compassion, Self-Love, Guilt, Forgiveness, Silence, Sadness, Happiness, Confusion, Vulnerability, and Anger. And then, with stories and practical advice, she shows you how to build each room. Welcome Home is ultimately a guide to building that space inside yourself rather than looking outside yourself for that sense of safety and worth.
