'A Humanity Written in Ashes'

(Previously titled: 'Mirror and Ashes: The Lost Lullaby of Resistance')

This book is a lament and a lullaby of hope rising from the ashes of Gaza. Poems echoing from the wounded lands of Palestine will make you feel the cries of innocent children in your heart; the silent prayers of mothers will stir your soul. Every line speaks of humanity's deepest wounds while renewing your faith in freedom and justice.

Why read it?

  • Striking Themes: A universal epic of resistance where the dark shadow of genocide intertwines with the innocent dreams of children and the heartache of mothers.
  • Philosophical Depth: Sartre's freedom, Camus's absurdity, Nietzsche's power, and Heidegger's 'being-there' are reborn in the magical metaphors of poetic language.
  • Literary Sensitivity: A touching journey woven with motifs of death, grief, betrayal, mercy, and resistance, from 'Guilt Before the Mirror' to 'The Legacy Whispered by Ashes.'
  • Embracing the Universe: Poems that invite the reader to face their conscience, like a mirror; a wall of sound echoing both silence and hope.
  • Book Details

  • Estimated length: 268 pages
  • Number of poems: 116 original poems
  • Sections: 'Laments of Birth,' 'Lullabies of Resistance,' 'Mirror and Ash,' and additional references-acknowledgments
  • In the lines before you lies the resistance of a people, the questioning of humanity, and the shared lullaby of all the oppressed. Take this book to confront yourself, silence, and conscience; then rise again. The echo that will resonate in your heart will be the greatest miracle that still makes you human.
