Poem Set 2

Quote- She obviously has passion for her art, influenced by her heritage, internal conflict between America and Palestine informs her poetry

Arabic Coffee

  • too strong for 'us'- family connection
  • "Papa"very casual, close relationship
  • white cups- specification to contrast dark coffee
  • men and women- gender comparison
  • handkerchiefs symbolize the suppression of dreams, folded away
  • live long enough- a violent conflict?
  • themes of fear, balance
My Grandmother in the Stars
  • Death, loss right off the bat
  • Close connection to, I'm assuming, dead Grandma
  • Sky tying the universe- soooo pretty, symbol of connection to an afterlife
  • value of knowledge
  • respects grandmother
  • hearts=mirror a reflection of ourselves and out thoughts
  • cherishes memories
  • strong themes of family
  • love
