Description

Grief is a kind of exile, and these poems are a testament to that experience. Maram al-Masri's collection explores the intersection of love and loss, particularly in the context of a mother's longing for her child. Born in Syria, she has built a devoted following with her unflinching and poignant poetry. In "The Abduction", al-Masri delves into the complexities of grief and the search for language that can bridge the distance between a mother and her child. Her words are both deeply personal and universally relatable, offering a powerful exploration of the human experience. Translated with great care by Theo Dorgan, this collection is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever known the ache of loss and the beauty of love.
