Pages: 144 pages

publisher: Sameh Publishing House

This first collection of poems by the poet Ziyad Barkosson includes poems that vary in form, between the vertical and the slightly liberated from the strictness of meter. As for the most prominent and dominant topic in the atmosphere of the poems, it is the search for inner peace and peace with the surroundings and the outside world through poems of an emotional and human nature that bears the concerns of the oppressed person on the individual and public levels. The main axis around which the poems of this collection revolve is love and women, as they are the most beautiful and widest window for expressing the most delicate and lofty human feelings. In the poem “This is what the stone said,” the poet Ziyad Baqassoul tries to trace the sayings of the stone and write down his biography, which he believes has not yet reached its conclusion. The embers that sparked the first intifada still lurk under the ashes of the Palestinian days, and the Palestinian stone still has something to say.
