Leaves of Light and Silent Fire
PoetryThe first. Love in four movements, of family, of friends, of romance, of life itself, where Arab elegance meets Texan sincerity. Drawn from the original bilingual edition into English.
Winner of the Austin Public Library's prize for local authors. Sold out of the Central Library's shop. Held on the shelves of three city libraries.
Concrete Roses & Leather Thorns
PoetryThe second. A black-tie after-party in an abandoned warehouse, chandeliers and spray-paint, tenderness and gunmetal. Five acts ordered by the textures of feeling: velvet, cashmere, steel. Elegance that arrives softly and refuses to stay silent.
Ledger of the Weightless Damned
PoetryThe third. An archive of testimonies from those who cut every anchor until they floated free, the engineer asleep in his car with six offers unanswered among them. Poems as ritual, written from inside the territory of the lost.
