Here he celebrates moments of delight and awe with his wife, his mentors, his friends, and the beauty of the natural world. Yet he also finds tenderness for the other, the dead, and the disappeared, bringing together the language of medicine with the language of desire in images at once visceral and vulnerable. A symptomatic moon. A peach, quartered like a heart, and a heart, quartered like a peach. \"I call the finding of certain things loss.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoudah is a translator between the heart and the mind, the flesh and the more-than-flesh, the word body and the world body--and between languages, with a polyglot's hyperresonant sensibility. In \"Sagittal Views,\" the book's middle section, Joudah collaborates with Golan Haji, a Kurdish Syrian writer, to foreground the imaginative act of constructing memory and history. Together they mark the place the past occupies in the body, the cut that \"runs deeper than speech.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenerous in its scope, inventive in its movements and syntax, \u003cem\u003eFootnotes in the Order of Disappearance\u003c\/em\u003e is a richly rewarding and indispensable collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFady Joudah has published three books of poems, \u003ci\u003eThe Earth in the Attic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlight\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTextu\u003c\/i\u003e, a book-long sequence of short poems whose meter is cellphone character count.
