A Delicate Wearied Conscience: Selections from the Poetry and Texts of Ayman Mohamed Naguib

About this book

Between light's fracture and tales' shadows.. a conscience that never rests. Have you ever tried standing at the word's edge, where love mingles with pain, and the poem becomes a garment for a soul wearied by walking? This book is no mere "selections from poems and texts," but a mirror carefully polished, reflecting a human's journey along loss and hope roads. In "A Delicate Wearied Conscience," poet Ayman Mohamed Naguib opens a window onto intensely private worlds, passing through them between "Al-Genaina" alleys and "Blue Nile" shores, carrying in his pocket a burning elegy for a mother who was the homeland, and pride in a father who was the pillar. This collection's texts progress between the mystery of life's first disappointments, and the inspiration of rising from wars and displacement rubble. It is an invitation to share the poet's silence and speech, his contemplations of God's kingdom, and his existential struggle between "delicacy of feeling" making him see beauty in the subtlest details, and "reality's weariness" weighing the soul's shoulder. It is a journey addressing the broken.
