The Mountain Driver

About this book

Between the rocks of barren mountains and the pulse of weary hearts, the voice of 'The Mountain Driver' is born to rewrite the tale anew. This work is not merely a poetry collection in Egyptian vernacular but a rugged, soaring human journey resembling in its details the curves of mountains that carry the secrets of days and bow before no storms. The journey begins from 'the mountain's illusion,' where the mirage hides in the soil, and arrives at the steadfastness of 'the mountain poet,' who sees in rock a support and in hardness a school of patience and fortitude. The poet skillfully moves between the warmth of prophetic intimate supplication and the moan of estrangement in harsh winter nights, where 'winter is a cellar' swallowing trembling bodies behind locked doors. The collection reveals that spiritual Sufi dimension patting the souls that 'withered with worries,' and at the same time raises a rebellious patriotic voice calling 'the nation's dawn-waker' to rouse determination and awaken the sleepers to the pain of Al-Aqsa and Palestine. 'The Mountain Driver' is a mirror for every human battling.
