The feral is not something other than ourselves. We carry it within us: in memories of and the desire for lost places - identifying with the old, adapting to and adopting the new.

Award-winning Arab Australian poet Omar Sakr presents a pulsating collection of poetry that interrogates the bonds and borders of family, faith, queerness, and nationality. Visceral and energetic, Sakr’s poetry confronts the complicated notion of “belonging” when one’s family, culture, and country are at odds with one’s personal identity. Braiding together sexuality and divinity, conflict and redemption, The Lost Arabs is a fierce, urgent collection from a distinct new voice.

This collection of works is culled from the author's first seven books of poetry and contains 17 new poems.

Cervantes, Donnelly River, Yallingup, Fremantle, Leonora, and beyond are richly evoked in poems ranging stylistically from accomplished mature lyrics and the confessional to narratives of raw power and feeling.

When she takes a teaching role at a university, Julie finally feels closer to fulfilling her dreams – training Ethiopia's first physiotherapists, treating paediatric patients, and losing her heart to a handsome colleague. Then civil unrest reaches the university, forcing Julie's students to choose between their safety and their future. When it comes to being a part of change, why do all steps feel like small steps?
