LA Times 2022

My book, which bears the name “Flashes Of The Present Pain”, is expressed in both the Arabic language and the English language. The poetry quartets are my non-literal translation, while maintaining the meaning, drawn from the original Arabic text. The Flashes include eight quartets, seven of which account, to some extent, for the pain suffered by the wounded motherland in general, and the ethnic minorities including Christians, Sabean Mandaeans and Yazidis in particular. These people have been marginalized and despised along with loss, despair, and deprivation of their rights, other than displacement, threat, intimidation and even death. The eighth quartet concludes the journey of the Flashes by recounting the suffering of my heart.
