The Lost Arabs
The Lost Arabs | Omar Sakr
1 post | 2 read | 3 to read
Award-winning Arab Australian poet Omar Sakr presents a pulsating collection of poetry that interrogates the bonds and borders of family, faith, queerness, and nationality. Visceral and energetic, Sakr’s poetry confronts the complicated notion of “belonging” when one’s family, culture, and country are at odds with one’s personal identity. Braiding together sexuality and divinity, conflict and redemption, The Lost Arabs is a fierce, urgent collection from a distinct new voice.

The Lost Arabs | Omar Sakr

After reading These Wild Houses I was excited to read more of his stuff, and this one is a solid collection of poems. There is a lot of searching for home, hinging on family trauma, queerness and a loss of homeland. But it also shows pockets of queer love between.
