An Equation of Unbalanced Weights

About this book

This collection transcends the boundaries of familiar words to take us into the laboratory of poet Adel Abdel-Razek, where experiences shatter and are reformulated into living poems voicing what hearts fell silent about. An Equation of Unbalanced Weights is not just a poetry collection, but a desperate attempt to weigh feelings that do not submit to the laws of logic or mathematics—an attempt to decode a relationship whose two parties lived on two different planets. The poet opens his pages with a torrent of existential questions about love, separation, and fate, as if standing perplexed before the truth that the right side of the emotional equation never equals its left side. He dives into the philosophy of hollow passion that kills enthusiasm and leaves the hero laden with illusions and memories. The collection is a mirror of an inner struggle between a soul seeking the right of asylum into the beloved's heart, and another refusing humiliation and cursing a love that made her a commodity sold in every market. The poems carry us from the scream of love to the apology mixed with regret for a farewell that began in the rain, then to the moment of the brave decision.
