  • More about THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED

This book of poetry explores the boundaries between idolization, iconoclasm, restraint, and audacity, using scintillating images and garden-fresh metaphors to evoke existential truths. It features parrots on Mount Everest, tigers swallowing poets, fishless oceans, ill-tempered camels, sparrows of memory, pancakes of platitudes, the Great Mountain of Fear, a starved Bedouin, and the one-eyed blacksmith of time.

Format: Paperback
Publication date: 31 May 2021
Publisher: AEON BOOKS LTD


This collection of poems navigates a delicate balance between adoration and critique, restraint and audacity, and the boundaries between man and animal. Within its pages, vibrant images and refreshing metaphors spring to life, captivating the reader's imagination. The poems explore a myriad of intriguing themes, including parrots perched atop Mount Everest, tigers devouring poets, fishless oceans, ill-tempered camels, and sparrows of memory. They coexist alongside platitudes, the Great Mountain of Fear, a guilt-ridden Bedouin grappling with hunger, the gradual shift in toe direction with age, and the one-eyed blacksmith of time. In this remarkable body of work, magical surrealism seamlessly conceals profound existential truths, offering a unique and captivating perspective on the human experience.
