Myasar and I became friends during his exile in Cyprus, where he lived as an asylum seeker for almost 6 years.

Now that he has returned to Syria, this store and the poems collected here are our way of supporting him as he begins to rebuild his life.

Written across the ache of absence, the pull of memory, the experience of exile and the love of homeland, these poems invite you into Myasar’s world.

Every purchase helps support his new beginning.
