Aboud Saeed Book order

How does fear transform a poet or a poem? In Syria, prior to March 2011, this question likely remained unanswerable, so deeply was fear woven into the fabric of daily life. As Aboud Saeed observes, the protests that began that spring also ignited a profound shift in aesthetic consciousness and cultural production. Though still contending with brutal violence and loss, this creative metamorphosis persists, with Saeed's singular voice leading the way. His poetry is liberation in its purest form, making the works of his contemporaries appear bound by tradition in comparison.
