REVIEWS

"A searing, scintillating account of a highly clique-ish society rife with contradictions, hypocrisies, and intransigence."
--
Shurooq Amin, artist, "It's a Man's World" exhibition.
"Faris's collection is an unapologetic statement about global and home affairs. An important voice for Arab women in the region,"
--
​Rewa Zenati, publisher & editor-in-chief of Sukoon magazine.
"Seamlessly combines lyric language, philosophy, and politics."
--
Oakla Elliott, author of The Cartographer's Ink.
"Faris's work also displays a ferocity that is often missing from today's literature of the gentry." 
​--
​Debarun Sarkar, reviewing the book in Newfound magazine.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

Semi-Finalist in the 2016 Vine Leaves Vignette Collection Awards
Genre: Single Author Poetry & Prose Collection

Concerned with endings, resonances, and aftermaths, Fountain of Youth explores the mediation of an Arab female poet on the brink of change, documenting moments of transformation from adolescence to adulthood, from the immature stage of a mental disorder to its mature form, and from post-colonial conditions that led to the creation of a comfortable welfare state to globalization and its repercussions.

Specifically, Fountain of Youth questions what it means to be human after the global triumph of neoliberalism—and how our revision will help us rethink our ideas about youth/growth in the Middle East.
