Would the night be jealous of your collection, Matar, if you stole most of its stars and gave them to your radiant star, which is your poetic creativity, so they could find solace in it?
Five stars are not enough; here are stars from the night and from me.
Ahmed Matar is a true poet in a time filled with hollow slogans and their owners. He did not write for singing or chant for the sultan. Instead, he directed his words and poems to every place of injustice or aggression. Despite his exile and illnesses abroad, he remains steadfast, still firing bullets from the muzzle of his pen. This book contains the complete works of Ahmed Matar... explicit and concise banners from magazine and book pages, all contained within this book. It is a book we present to the inhabitants of the Arab world and its owner, who found no peace and melted into the tragedies of the Arab world, despite his farewell and departure from Arab lands.
