Back-cover text:
A distinctive young voice in poetry from the United Arab Emirates, Khulood Al-Mualla draws on a mystical world to create a language of her own. Her poetic voice is both powerful and concentrated, alive with human feeling. Through it, she explores philosophical questions of the universe, life, and existence.
As she writes in an essay: “I write life, the moment, the here and now. So read me.”
—Mehmet Hakkı Suçin
