Last fall, I read new poetry collections by two poets I’d not encountered before – Hedy Habra and Andrew Calis. The poems of Habra’s Or Did You Ever See the Other Side? each begin with “or,” suggesting life’s alternatives and ambiguities. The poems by Calis in Which Seeds Will Grow? suggest hope can be found even in places and landscapes where it seems impossible.
I liked both collections so much I decided to find and read their first collections, Tea in Heliopolis: Poems (2013) by Habra and Pilgrimages: Poems (2020) by Calis.
