Dynamically pairing traditional and experimental forms, Philip Metres traces ancient and modern migrations in an investigation of the ever-shifting idea of home.\n\nIn Fugitive/Refuge, Philip Metres follows the journey of his refugee ancestors\u2014from Lebanon to Mexico to the United States\u2014in a vivid exploration of what it means to long for home. A book-length qasida, the collection draws on both ancient traditions and innovative forms\u2014odes and arabics, sonnets and cut-ups, prayers and documentary voicings, heroic couplets and homophonic translations\u2014in order to confront the perils of our age: forced migration, climate change, and toxic nationalism. \n\nFugitive/Refuge pronounces the urge both to remember the past and to forge new poetic forms and ways of being in language.
