  Which Seeds Will Grow? - Poems

  Andrew Calis

  A new collection of poems by Palestinian-American Catholic poet Andrew Calis, Which Seeds Will Grow? ​finds hope in the Holy Land.
  Grappling with his identity as a Christian Palestinian American, Andrew Calis recalls his father who saw Israeli jets swoop over his house in Jerusalem and a military helicopter fire bullets into his front yard. The same father who wouldn't teach his children Arabic, for fear that they would have accented English, who kept his past close to his chest—unknown to his son. He recounts the death of his grandfather, a grandfather who would beat his father, and for whom he could not fully mourn because Arab men don't cry.
  Andrew Calis digs through the pain of his family and of his homeland to find the fragile seed of contained life and delicate hope for the Holy Land—and reflects on how tenderly that seed must be nurtured.
  Steeped in wonder, Which Seeds Will Grow? explores the past and the present, from ancient Jerusalem to Baltimore's gardens and alleys through the lens of a Palestinian American. The poems are patient, waiting for seasons to end, waiting for space to expand outward, and waiting for light to touch the earth. Despite the difficulty of waiting, readers will find hope in hopelessness and comfort in the contemplation of the world and its sacred mysteries.
  From Which Seeds Will Grow?
  Planting a Garden 
  
  Stealing clippings from neighbors' yards
  
  And smiling as they grew their own blooms
  
  In the safe and hidden rooms where we
  
  Keep watch on them like they are our children.
  
  ***
  
  Nothing grew. We knew this was
  
  A possibility, had read
  
  It sometimes takes two years,
  
  And we hoped in spite of only dirt
  
  For the green that could be anything.
  Perhaps we dug too shallow or too close
  
  To the shade, or stepped where we had already planted,
  
  Either crushing roots or breaking their curled
  
  First shoots before they broke the surface.
  
  ***
  
  So when one survived, wove a green line
  
  Of its own, thinly sprouting something unknowable, I ran
  
  Inside and for a moment felt
  
  What John must have felt
  
  Leaving Peter, old and unsteadily running,
  
  And running breathlessly
  
  To tell everyone —
  
  Everyone
  
  What had happened
  
  And how you wouldn't believe your eyes.

  The Rupture Tense - Poems

  Jenny Xie

  Shaped around moments of puncture and release, The Rupture Tense registers what leaks across the breached borders between past and future, background and foreground, silence and utterance. In polyphonic and formally restless sequences, Jenny Xie cracks open reverberant, vexed experiences of diasporic homecoming, intergenerational memory  
  transfer, state-enforced amnesia, public secrecies, and the psychic fallout of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Across these poems, memory—historical, collective, personal—stains and erodes. Xie voices what remains irreducible in our complex entanglements with familial ties, language, capitalism, and the histories in which we find ourselves lodged. 
   
  The Rupture Tense begins with poems provoked by the photography of Li Zhensheng, whose negatives, hidden under his floorboards to avoid government seizure, provide one of the few surviving visual archives of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and concludes with an aching elegy for the poet’s grandmother, who took her own life shortly after the end  
  of the Revolution. This extraordinary collection records the aftershocks and long distances between those years and the present, echoing out toward the ongoing past and a trembling future.

  Gitanjali is a collection of 103 poems in English, largely translations by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. This volume became very famous in the West, and was widely translated into other languages. In England a slender volume was published in 1913, with an exhilarating preface by W. B. Yeats. In the same year, Rabindranath became the first non-European to win the Nobel prize. (summary by Hilara)"On many an idle day have I grieved over lost time. But it is never lost, my lord. Thou hast taken every moment of my life in thine own hands.Hidden in the heart of things thou art nourishing seeds into sprouts, buds into blossoms, and ripening flowers into fruitfulness.I was tired and sleeping on my idle bed and imagined all work had ceased. In the morning I woke up and found my garden full with wonders of flowers." 81, Gitanjali
