"National Anthem is a new poetry collection from award-winning journalist and writer Mohamed Hassan. It charts an intimate course through memories from his childhood and upbringing in Egypt, New Zealand, Turkey and elsewhere to untangle the intersecting traumas of migration, islamophobia and grief and ask difficult questions about the essence of nationalism and belonging"--Publisher's website.
