Fady Joudah is the winner of the 2008 Yale Younger Poets Prize for his first book, The Earth in Our Attic. A Palestinian-American physician, he has been a field member of Doctors Without Borders since 2001, with recent missions to Zambia and Darfur-Sudan. He has also translated the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish in The Butterfly's Burden and If I Were Another.
Joudah’s visit is co-sponsored by the Hundere Endowment for Religion and Culture, as part of a new initiative in the Medical Humanities at OSU.
“These are small poems, many of them, but the grandeur of conception is inescapable. The Earth in the Attic is varied, coherent, fierce, tender, impossible to put down, impossible to forget.” –Louise Gluck.
