النزيل بمعماره في التيه العربية 2025

The collection contains 80 poems across 125 pages, exploring themes of exile, fragmented identity, and metaphysical longing. Salfīj crafts a poetic architecture of memory and absence, where the self is scattered across symbolic landscapes—coffee cups, broken mirrors, the scent of a father, and the silence of old cafés. The poems are steeped in Sufi imagery and existential reflection, portraying the wilderness (al-Tīh) not just as a physical displacement, but as a metaphysical state of being. The “lodger” becomes a metaphor for the poet’s fractured self, dwelling in spaces of loss, silence, and yearning. The language is lyrical, evocative, and rich in open-ended symbols that invite deep emotional and philosophical engagement.
