You Are a Mad Woman

About this book

You are a mad woman... and the eternal riddle of the lover. This is not merely a poetry collection; it is a burning record of a love story that refused to be cured, and a literary testimony to the genius of passion and the punishment of madness. "The Jinn Poet" Said Jamal Eddine plunges us into the depths of a unique human experience, where the woman is not merely a beloved but a baffling riddle and a never-resting storm. She is the cruelty that cares nothing for pain, and she is the vengeance born of trivial causes. On every page the poet bleeds panting words blending delirium with wisdom, glorification with anguish, addressing that woman described as "candy without sugar" and "a calamity for the thinker." The book is a bold attempt to answer an existential question: how do we love one who does not deserve our love? And how do we hope for healing from a disease we chose for ourselves? You will find yourself trapped between the lover's indignation and his infatuation, between calling a doctor no one hears, and the voice of a woman who never grows old and remains forever thirsty. The poet has drawn with a realistic literary brush a tragic scene of a heart that turned into "a cemetery for the eternal filthy passion" — yet a cemetery where the embers refuse to die, and where every poem is another stone carved with the name of a madness that chose its owner willingly.
