Produktbeschreibung

"This Side of Light celebrates the evolution and scope of Souaid's work over a 25-year period, from the early titles focused on human connectedness and the difficult bridging of worlds, to more recent ones exploring themes of aging, loss, letting go, and the vulnerability of life. The poems have been selected from Souaid's eight previously published books of poetry by fellow poet Arleen Parâe, who also provides an introduction to Souaid's work."--
