Purchase I Could Die Today and Live Again here.

I Could Die Today and Live Again is inspired by the realm of The Legend of Zelda. Giving voice to non-player characters and blurring the boundaries of game-world and real-world, Summer Farah's poems explore madness, girlhood, and the reverberations of empire. Fixating on the figures of the lonely child and the moon-something to be feared, something to be revered--this collection laments the loss of friends and of country, but always resolves to try again and again and again.

Summer Farah is a Palestinian-American poet, editor, and critic who organizes with the Radius of Arab American Writers. Her work has been published in Mizna, The Rumpus, LitHub, and other places.

"Zelda, to me, has always been somewhere between wistful and eldritch. Link, violently ripped from time out of time, becomes an avatar to explore a lonely, beautiful, forever doomed world. Summer Farah's work, then, is an avatar for the soul, moving through unknown worlds. Dread, hope, death, repeated—Summer’s poetry revels in its wildness."
