{"product_id":"salat-9781946482402","title":"Salat","description":"Dujie Tahat's Salat is a book of poems written in a compelling new form of the poet's own invention that participate, fully -- they praise, weep, spit, beg, laugh, choke, sing. In this murderous age it is increasingly unconscionable to be inert, in one's living or in one's art. Tahat tells us: \"There's a river in heaven, and I am the star that belongs to it.\" Salat is boisterously, resoundingly alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTahat, Dujie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Dujie Tahat, winner of the 2020 Sunken Garden Chapbook Award, is a Filipino-Jordanian immigrant living in Washington State.
