About the Book

A poetry anthology that illuminates exile and displacement. Making Mirrors began on two continents, envisioned by Palestinian poet and aid worker, Jehan Bseiso, and Becky Thompson, a US-based poet changed by months of greeting refugees after their perilous journey across the Aegean Sea. This anthology uses mirrors to reflect imagistic connections that allow us to see ourselves in each other, those on rafts and those standing on the shore, those waiting/writing in detention and those writing from places of relative safety, those who lift their children to the sky and those whose bodies are at the bottom of the sea. Making Mirrors offers a poetics of belonging--to the earth, family, and memories packed into backpacks. The poems go beyond refugee/citizen binaries and illuminate exile as a forced/creative space. As the refugee crisis fades from the front page of newspapers, this collection is a plea against historical amnesia and inertia; the poems are an antidote that reaches beyond despair to renewed action. Contributors include: Abbas Sheikhi - Abu Bakr Khaal - Adele Ne Jame - Ahmad Almallah - Ahmed - Qaisania - Angela Farmer - Baha' Budair - Becky Thompson - Bronwen Griffiths - Eman Abedelhadi - Fadwa Soleiman - Fady Joudah - Fatima Al Hassan - Fouad Mohammed Fouad - Gbenga Adesina - Golan Haji - Hajer Almosleh - Hayan Charara - Ibtisam Barakat - Jehan Bseiso - Jose A.
