The collection “The Hidden One Who Survives Interpretation” includes 28 poems, some of which are short and some are long, and deals with emotional, national, philosophical and contemplative issues. The relationship with women constitutes an important axis in the collection based on the poet’s refined humane and civilized view of women. Exile also constitutes a major axis since the poet lives in exile. Many years ago. The poet also resorts to writing abstract, contemplative poems sometimes as a result of his interaction with external existence and his preoccupation with humanizing things. The collection in our hands is the eighth in the series of Anwar Al-Khatib’s poetry publications, and it comes in the context of his poetic project that aspires to establish a different language and a different, vibrant and diverse construction of the Arabic poem, so that it escapes itself from routine, repetition, and rigid templates.
In her book, Zinc Boys, Svetlana Alexievich documented the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan between 1979 and 1985. In it, she collected interviews with soldiers returning from the war, or with mothers and wives of soldiers who were killed there, and whose bodies were returned in coffins made of zinc.
The result of the war was thousands of dead, disabled and missing people, which prompted Svetlana to raise sensitive questions about the war: Who are we? Why did we do that? Why did this happen to us? Why did we believe all that?
Svetlana was put on trial for publishing this book, and part of the documents related to the trial were added in Arabic translation.
This book deals with 51 thoughts that touch the heart and soul, wander in love, and leave with much sadness and joy.

It presents a number of feelings and sensations that will cross your imagination, your seven circles, and the borders of your senses to touch your longing and longing.
This writer does not call for anything except that you read, then close your eyes... and live your dreams.
