Lena Khalaf Tuffaha Books

Lena Khalaf Tuffaha crafts poetry and essays that resonate with the experiences of the first-generation American, immigrant, and expatriate. Her work intricately explores the crossing of cultural, geographic, and political borders, as well as the liminal spaces between languages and between the present and the living past. Through her writing, she gives voice to those living between two homelands, articulating the complexities of speaking in translation and navigating the realities of distant conflicts. Tuffaha's deep connection to the Arab world and her multilingual fluency infuse her literary output with a unique and profound perspective.
