Description
This collection of poems by Iraqi poet Sargon Boulus is a poignant tribute to his own life and legacy. Written between 1991 and 2007, these poems were translated by the author himself, offering a unique glimpse into the experiences and emotions of an Iraqi poet living in exile.
Published posthumously, Knife Sharpener includes an essay on poetry and memory, as well as tributes from fellow Arab poets and an afterword from the publisher. The book is a powerful exploration of themes such as death, grief, and loss, making it a moving read for anyone interested in Middle Eastern literature.
