My Mother

About this book

My Mother is a heartfelt poetry collection by the young writer Adham El-Gamal. Its verses begin with the child's most intimate source of love and reassurance, then extend that affection toward family, homeland, faith, and the beauty of the world around him. Written in a direct, youthful voice, the poems treat a mother's care as shelter, inheritance, and living memory. The collection offers an early portrait of a developing poetic talent whose strongest impulse is gratitude for the people and values that shape his life.
