<i><p>Where Are the Trees Going? </i>brings together some of the latest work of the poet and novelist Venus Khoury-Ghata in a manner that showcases her central concerns in a wholly novel and provocative format. Renowned translator Marilyn Hacker interleaves a full translation of Khoury-Ghata's volume of poetry <i>Où vont les arbres</i>.<i></i>with prose from <i>La maison aux orties</i>. The resulting interplay illuminates the poet's contrasting and complementary drives toward surreal lyricism and stark narrative exposition.</p><b><p></b> </p>
