Dear Friends,
I just received some exciting news from my new book publisher, Rowayat:
My new poetry collection, “Desert Songs”, is currently available for sale at Diwan Bookstores, in Egypt 🤗
Here’s a peek between the covers:
This is my first bilingual & photographic book —with Arabic translations by an esteemed Syrian poet & transporting images by a Moroccan photographer.
I will keep friends-outside-Egypt posted when “Desert Songs” will be available on Amazon, next month, internationally 🙏🏽✨
Meantime, a short, spiritual poem of mine I hope you enjoy:
There are no maps for the land
my mind's eye is fixed upon
Instead a trail of wrecked ships
mark this treacherous path
To guide me, a willful star
whose light dims if, briefly,
I happen to turn away—
and that glows brighter
when my heart's aflame.
