The Revoked Covenant

About this book

Between the covers of this work you do not merely read words; you listen to the soul crashing against the walls of reality. The Revoked Covenant is not merely a poetry collection; it is a human document written in the ink of bewilderment, honesty, and confession. The poet begins his journey from forgotten covenants, trying to gather the scattered shards of a self dispersed between the outcasts and between the companions of the road of whom nothing remains but shadows in memory. Here, questions slip in without permission: do we inherit from our fathers songs or pain? And how can a long silence turn into a muffled scream in the hustle of dispersion? Rami Saad Sharaf El-Din moves us through the corridors of the human psyche, from the wonder of paper and the stillness of exile rooms, to moments of weakness in which we declare our desire to leave in silence. At times you feel you are a grain of wheat supporting the hungry; at times you find yourself alone at Gate 8 watching your dreams emigrate far away. It is a book that speaks of you in your weakness, of your fears hidden behind a weak look, and of that innate faith that makes you raise your hand to the sky despite your breaking. The Revoked Covenant is an invitation to reconcile with small defeats, to embrace the obscurity wrapping our lives, and reading it means you are no longer alone facing this world, because someone has finally managed to give your silence a language and a voice.
