Raghead. New Issues Poetry & Prose, 2019.

Editor’s Pick, 2018 New Issues Poetry Prize; Finalist in the 2021 Oregon Book Awards. Nominated by Genre Punk Magazine as one of the top 100 Indie books of the 21st Century.

“Deftly making use of historically specific events, Raghead examines the Gulf War, relaying untold narratives of occupation and warfare, as well as addressing the violence the war inflicted on the female body and on the land itself. In these poems, Eman Hassan explores the idea of trauma and memory through a maze of recollecting and forgetting, weighed against the importance of “being in in the now.” ~University of Chicago Press

“Raghead is a power, timely, and necessary book”. ~New Issues Poetry & Prose.
