In a collection that is both full of wonder and deep philosophical reflection on what fatherhood means and how it shifts our perspective on all relationships, Omar Sabbagh once again raises the bar of what can be achieved in poetry. Here yearning, vulnerabilty, self-examination, our hopes and fears combine, in poetry that is honest, resonant and transformative. This is Sabbagh at the height of his powers as a magician of language and rhythm exploring the depths of what it means to be human and to love.
