Fahishah

by Lucian A. Sperta, Rubin Gilbert (Illustrator), Lucian A. Sperta (Photographer)

Overview

Fahishah (Arabic meaning 'a great sin an evil way') are recently undiscovered poems by the Author Lucian A. Sperta. Written mostly in the early 1980's-1990's during the early years of his recovery from child abuse while in treatment. Many are familiar in tone and in anguish, many also deal with current global issues. These poems were accidentally discovered in some old journals, and pieces of paper.

The Author felt after releasing all his other poems from the same era, he would feel incomplete if he did not release these. Lucian A. Sperta continues to share with us his angst, his anger, sadness, not just for himself; but for the injustices toward powerless people. He also introduces us to John Robert Garcia, who in his untimely death, at the age of eighteen, left two poems which Lucian felt compelled to add to this release. After a careful review, it aligned with this work and its message of pain and internal struggles.
