About the Author
Lena Khalaf Tuffaha is an acclaimed poet, writer, and educator whose work explores the intersections of identity, family, and cultural heritage with profound lyricism and emotional depth. Born to Palestinian parents, she draws from her experiences as a mother, daughter, and global citizen to craft poetry that resonates with themes of displacement, resilience, and the sacred bonds of motherhood. Tuffaha's writing has appeared in numerous literary journals and anthologies, earning her recognition including the Two Sylvias Press Chapbook Prize. As a teacher and advocate, she inspires emerging voices in poetry and creative writing, bridging personal narratives with broader social dialogues. Her debut full-length collection, For the Last of Us, solidifies her place in contemporary American literature, where she continues to illuminate the human spirit through verse.
