Rasha al-Ameer of Dar al-Jadeed and I are pleased to invite you to the launch and book signing of my new collection of poems, “Mourning in the Presence of a Corpse.” The image of the book cover is attached.
The event will be on Friday, May 30th, between 6 and 8pm in the garden of Najah Taher’s Atelier Zawiya on Sitt Nassab Street (between Sidani and Makdissi streets, and Ibrahim Abdel Aal, and Abdel Aziz Streets – see the attached Zawarib Beirut map, p. 33). Refreshments will be served.
This is Dar al-Jadeed’s first English language book.

Sailing with the Pleiades

The Empress of Certain Norbert Hirschhorn displays a wide range of form, tone and

descriptions of horrific events never cross over into rant or melodrama. (Rob Mackenzie, Sphinx, UK.)
