About this book

This poetry collection by Ali Kanaan moves between the sudden blaze of the meteor and the rooted fragrance of sweet basil. Its poems bring war, nature, memory and the enduring resources of Arabic lyric tradition into a compressed, image-rich language. Kanaan writes from the pressure of contemporary history without surrendering the poem’s musical and contemplative possibilities, creating a body of work in which beauty is neither an escape from violence nor defeated by it.
