In Dunya Mikhail's work, the mythic, the journalistic, and the poetic meet; war transforms into a Type A character, and Enheduana talks with Siri in a dream. My latest in The New York Review of Books nybooks.com/articles/2025/…

Anna Della Subin (Anna Della Subin) on the Iraqi American poet Dunya Mikhail go.nybooks.com/3S8Bz3Z

“Dunya Mikhail has long been building a dictionary of symbols—the shell, the flower, the stars—that recur across her books. In Tablets she takes the logical next step and creates her own cuneiform.” —Anna Della Subin go.nybooks.com/4jaO0az

“Over the past four decades, Dunya Mikhail has written of Iraq, its histories of invasion and loss, and the experience of exile in a voice so disarmingly direct it seems to become oracular.” —Anna Della Subin go.nybooks.com/3H1yEI0
