In her Dorset Prize-winning collection, poet Lauren Camp explores the lives of a first-generation Arab-American girl and her Jewish-Iraqi parent. One Hundred Hungers tells overlapping stories of food and ritual, immigration and adaptation, evoking her father’s boyhood in 1940s Baghdad, a time when tensions began to emerge along ethnic and religious lines.
