al kouta

Refreshingly honest poems by a former refugee who returned home to a world turned upside down by war. Having lived through the horrors of war and displacement, Razi helps readers find their way. Razi has a rare gift of noticing what others don’t see. Presented in Arabic with an English translation. ＂Kills the pain that dances in my soul.＂ - M. Albilal, literature student, Netherlands. ＂This book is a gift to anyone who thinks they are alone, as Razi melds connections between pain and beauty in ’a cave of great sadness and extreme, unimaginable love’＂ - P. Y., psychologist and trauma specialist, USA. ＂There is something intensely intimate in Razi’s plaintive lamentation: a woundedness one only allows a close friend to hear.＂ - J. K., lover of poetry.
