October in Lebanon is heavy with memory. The euphoria of the 2019 revolution feels far away, its anniversaries marked by crisis, war and the genocide in Gaza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross multiple Octobers, Nur Turkmani meditates on rupture, transformation and the quiet undoing and remaking of relationships during collective catastrophe. Part archive, part love letter, her debut poetry collection holds the ordinary and the extraordinary in the same breath, spanning balconies and border towns, fig trees and songs for friends, autumn light and the instinct to flee. Formally spare and emotionally saturated, October refuses both numbness and spectacle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese poems ask what it means to survive the world and still long for it; and how we hold what’s disappearing, or changing too quickly to make sense of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hajar Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56534520037762,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/files\/IMG_4186037.jpg?v=1775659598","url":"https:\/\/goodpress.co.uk\/products\/october-by-nur-turkmani","provider":"Good Press — good books \u0026 more","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
