A Lover of Freedom

Description

This book contains a collection of poems by the Syrian writer and poet Ghada al-Samman. While the poems are rich in imagery, the theme of freedom, the passion for it, and its celebration as a supreme human value are almost always present.

Freedom permeates the pages as it does the poems themselves, forming their very essence and spirit. The author has sought to emphasize this truth throughout the poems, even asserting that freedom is more precious to her than love and holds the highest value.

This creative poet’s work is not limited to images of freedom and love; she also explores other equally important themes such as the past, time, joy, and memories.
