Thahira– qasa’ed fi arabat al-iskafi (Afternoon: Poetry in the Shoemaker’s Cart)

This poetry collection won the A M Qattan Foundation’s 2015 Young Writers Award. The jury stated: “In this collection, the poet captures his daily visual reality in order to find his way to his own private isolation and present need to write alternative poetry that shocks the reader or clashes with them in the least. It reflects the poet’s determined effort at metaphor and language, in addition to stylistic innovation and a maturity that makes his poetry unique.”
