Janazet la’eb khiffa (Funeral of a Sleight of Hand Artist)

Ghuneimah won the 2017 A M Qattan Foundation’s Young Writers Award in the poetry category for this collection. The competition jury stated that Ghuneimah’s collection: “displays a mature and powerful poetic discourse, amazing metaphors and images, and poetic momentum that flows in smooth texts about cruelty and sadness. These are presented through poetics distinguished by subjectivity, experimentation, creativity, and justified subjective sadness that possesses the power to open a window to what is human and universal.”
