"Elmaz Abinader's In the Country of My Dreams redeems the
achievements of a century that has struggled long and hard with
tolerance and inclusion. Daughter of immigrants from Lebanon, she
sings of their birthplace that she too claims as her own, and of the
American landscape she reverently loves and calls home. I salute the
arrival of these poems and their author for their expansive
compassion and their delicate enduring tenderness."

More than a chronicle of immigration, Children of the Roojme also
dramatizes the plight of those left behind in Lebanon as they endure
famine, war, plagues of locusts, epidemics and family rivalries."—
