<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Writing into the wounds and reverberations of the Israel/Palestine conflict, <em>Shrapnel Maps</em> is at once elegiac and activist.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Writing into the wounds and reverberations of the Israel/Palestine conflict, Philip Metres' fourth book of poems, <em>Shrapnel Maps, </em> is at once elegiac and activist, an exploratory surgery to extract the slivers of cartography through palimpsest and erasure. A wedding in Toura, a suicide bombing in Jerusalem, uneasy interactions between Arab and Jewish neighbors in University Heights, the expulsion of Palestinians in Jaffa, another bombing in Gaza: <em>Shrapnel Maps</em> traces the hurt and tender places, where political noise turns into the voices of Palestinians and Israelis. Working with documentary flyers, vintage postcards, travelogues, cartographic language, and first person testimonies, <em>Shrapnel Maps</em> ranges from monologue sonnets to prose vignettes, polyphonics to blackouts, indices to simultaneities, as Palestinians and Israelis long for justice and peace, for understanding and survival.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Philip Metres is the author and translator of eleven books and chapbooks, including <em>The Sound of Listening: Poetry as Refuge and Resistance</em> (University of Michigan 2018); <em>Pictures at an Exhibition</em> (University of Akron 2016); <em>Sand Opera</em> (Alice James 2015); and <em>I Burned at the Feast: Selected Poems of Arseny Tarkovsky</em> (Cleveland State Poetry Center, 2015). Recipient of two NEA fellowships, the Lannan Fellowship, and, two Arab American Book Awards, he is a professor of English and the director of the Peace, Justice, and Human Rights Program at John Carroll University in Cleveland.
