Poetry
Call to Darkness
by Vénus Khoury-Ghata
Description
With this new collection, Vénus Khoury-Ghata continues and renews her poetic work. War, one of his favourite themes, is present in it in two different facets. The first part, a long poem without scansion that is not lacking in humour, focuses on daily life and characters such as Mansour the grocer or Adèle the dressmaker. The second part is animated by a more tragic breath. Vénus Khoury-Ghata delivers ample poetry of overwhelming beauty, whose images are both concrete and almost magical.
