Description

Ramy al-Asheq's debut collection of poetry, My Heart Became a Bomb, offers a powerful and poignant exploration of exile and identity. Born from his experiences in Syria and his current life in Berlin, these poems take the reader on a journey through forced migration, love, and the search for belonging.

Through raw and reflective verse, al-Asheq raises important questions about the role of poetry in a world of constant flux and uncertainty. His translations, the result of a long collaboration with Thompson, introduce an essential new voice to contemporary poetry.

This collection is a timely and thought-provoking addition to the world of poetry, offering a unique perspective on the experience of exile and its impact on individuals and communities.
