ZAATARDIVA
by Suheir Hammad
Rattapallax Press, 2006
ZAATARDIVA is the third collection of poetry by Suheir Hammad, a Palestinian-born New Yorker, award-winning poet and acclaimed performer from Russell Simmons' "Def Poetry Jam on Broadway." The "Zaatar" of the title refers to a mixture of spices often eaten with olive oil and bread and alludes to the way Hammad blends her cultural background with a vision of global politics, race and the power of writing.

On the CD that accompanies ZaatarDiva, Hammad performs the poems in the book in a voice that captures the emotional range and raw immediacy of her work. The poem "daddy's song" movingly features conversation with Hammad's working-class immigrant father.
