Invitation to a Secret Feast

Invitation to a Secret Feast is the 5th book of poetry by noted Lebanese poet Joumana Haddad, edited and with an introduction by Khaled Mattawa (who also did some of the translations). Haddad’s passionate, poetic voice is renowned throughout Europe and the Middle East, and Tupelo is very proud to be the first to publish her work in this country.

In these gorgeous translations, her voice sings, celebrating sexuality, femininity and womanhood.
