Publisher's summary

Abraham’s highly anticipated debut constructs a dialogue in which “every pronoun is a Free Palestine”.

Through poems of immense emotion, and the use of alluring form, Abraham crafts work that examines what we come to own by existing.

Birthright begs listeners to stay, to stay lucid, to stay alive, to stay present in this very moment; as it knows now is all we are guaranteed. As trauma seeps through generations, can the body deconstruct its own inheritance? In a world that only takes, what is owed? What is your Birthright, and where is home?

Critic reviews

"Abraham writes, 'I am always translating' - from the sizzling, flaring elements of Palestinian/universal displacement, immigration struggles, gender identity, body and memory as 'fragmented countries', too, he has built a bold, brilliant book. Here is a love too wide for containment, illuminating layers of story - family and land, political yet passionately personal. In a lineage of many broken hearts and heart attacks, here is a heart too brave to mutter or flail." (Naomi Shihab Nye, Young People’s Poet Laureate, author of Cast Away: Poems for Our Time)
