Excerpt from The Country I Come From You remember when we hurried home from the old bush school how we were sometimes startled by a bearded apparition, who smiled kindly down on us, and whom our mother introduced, as we raked ofi' our hate, as, An old mate of your father's on the diggings, Johnny. And he would pat our heads and say we were fine boys, or girls - as the case may have been - and that we had our father's nose but our mother's eyes, or the other way about; and say that the baby was the dead spit of its mother, and then add, for father's benefit: But yet he's like you, Tom. It did seem strange to the children to hear him address the old man by his Christian name considering that the mother always referred to him as Father. She called the old mate Mr. So-and-so, and father called him Bill, or something to that efi'ect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Plainspoken and unflinching, woven from "scraps and rumors, whispers and imaginings," these intimate poems chronicle a violent and troubled history on the North American Plains and the lives of white and indigenous family members, the living and the dead, and their relationships to one another and to the land. The Country I Come From celebrates the harsh and enduring beauty of the vast grasslands and its inhabitants, beginning in a time before time when life "woke from Nothing into This: An incandescence of meteors." The poems are drenched in wonderment and silence, miseries and mysteries, and the stubborn cargo of our individual and collective histories. Eschewing the myths of the Old West, The Country I Come From reimagines the stories of women and men for whom few records were kept, honors their lives, and explores the nature of desire, loss, and belonging. The Country I Come From is a sung hymn to the good earth, and a mourning prayer. The poems are meant to heal, and they do.-Lauren Davis, Home Beneath the Church and The Missing Ones These poems look across the wide ranges of the land in its fullness and haunt the ordinary fabric of our lives. They carve an enduring two-track road through our existence.-Diane Glancy, The Dream of a Broken Field and Island of the Innocent: a Consideration of the Book of Job

Tijan M. Sallah, the celebrated Gambian poet, returns with this new collection, I Come from a Country. This time his concern is his country of birth how it has changed or remained the same, and how the poet himself has changed. This collection also meanders into the poet's encounter with nature, and his travels to many other places, including China, Philippines and Bangladesh. Lastly, the poet reflects on the challenges of mid-life and of growing old, including remembrances of literary personalities, his friends Lenrie Peters, Nadine Gordimer, and Chinua Achebe, who have succumbed to the grim reaper. This is a remarkable collection, conversational in style and daring in its range and ambition.

LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD “Nothing short of magic.” —Elizabeth Acevedo, New York Times bestselling author of The Poet X From the acclaimed poet featured on Forbes Africa’s “30 Under 30” list, this powerful novel-in-verse captures one girl, caught between cultures, on an unexpected journey to face the ephemeral girl she might have been. Woven through with moments of lyrical beauty, this is a tender meditation on family, belonging, and home. my mother meant to name me for her favorite flower its sweetness garlands made for pretty girls i imagine her yasmeen bright & alive & i ache to have been born her instead Nima wishes she were someone else. She doesn’t feel understood by her mother, who grew up in a different land. She doesn’t feel accepted in her suburban town; yet somehow, she isn't different enough to belong elsewhere. Her best friend, Haitham, is the only person with whom she can truly be herself. Until she can't, and suddenly her only refuge is gone. As the ground is pulled out from under her, Nima must grapple with the phantom of a life not chosen—the name her parents meant to give her at birth—Yasmeen. But that other name, that other girl, might be more real than Nima knows. And the life Nima wishes were someone else's. . . is one she will need to fight for with a fierceness she never knew she possessed.
