Kajadwal Khajūl Yataḥarrá Majráh Arabiska 2025

Kajadwal Khajūl Yataḥarrá Majráh (Like a Shy Stream Seeking Its Course) is a lyrical and introspective collection of poetic prose by Syrian writer Ziyād Baqdūnas, published in 2025 by Sameh Publishing. Spanning 200 pages, the book blends the emotional depth of poetry with the narrative flow of short stories, often veering into philosophical and surreal terrain. The texts are characterized by: A hybrid form that merges prose poetry with narrative vignettes, resisting strict genre classification Themes of love, exile, longing, and spiritual vulnerability, rendered in delicate and evocative language A tone that oscillates between melancholy and wonder, with touches of magical realism A musical rhythm in the writing, where images and emotions flow like water through memory and dream The title metaphorically evokes the speaker’s emotional journey—tentative yet persistent, like a stream carving its path through uncertain terrain.
