Publisher's Synopsis
Ahmad Al-Khatat, a poet whose writing is influenced by the tragedies of war, passionately searches for normalcy amid the chaos in a country riddled with the atrocities born from the conflicts of warfare. Ahmad desperately holds on to his faith in humanity and the hope found in love as when he writes in One Woman "Her touches relieve my aches for the moments." It is here, in his belief in love, where the shattered shreds of the soul can be reborn to life that Ahmad's poetry takes us from the darkness of death to the light of life.
