Alf Abuhajleh

Alf Abuhajleh is originally from Sweden, and now lives in Lake Tahoe, California. His three poems tackle problematic beginnings that never seem to end - for better or worse. This is Alf's literary debut.

“American Migrant”, “Inside the Wall” and “Soccer Revolution”

“You came here and took the jobs our fathers built for us.” We exploit our talents in the fertile fields, in the shadows of portable toilets, in asparagus rows retching, wrapping ripped rags around numb fingers for a nightshift at the Blue Smoke Slaughterhouse.
