The survivors can still speak, but they are not at peace. This is made palpable in the poem Survival, the centerpiece of this impressive book about the disorder of the soul. more
Ramy Al-Asheq: Memory Dogs
The eponymous memory dogs carry memories into memory and thus back into the present. Memories steeped in war, pain and aching love are reanimated by the metaphorical four-legged friends, making them a constant companion in the future. Just as the experiences can no longer be ascribed to any time, the tenses used become diffuse. In his book of poems, Ramy Al-Asheq wanders from drastic images of war to past love affairs.
The perspectives crunch and the images that Ramy Al-Asheq finds allow the scandal of the simultaneity of war and peace to be experienced.
– Monika Rinck
The poems were translated into German by Lilian Pithan.
