Secrets Buried in the Sand

by Assaad Mounzer

Overview

The soul of a country had been lost, stolen, and stripped away. Its pride had been shattered, the youth were lost, the intellectuals were leaving, and the workforce was looking somewhere else for its future. The elderly people were in denial, remembering only the good old Lebanon they had spent their life building and cherishing and refusing to believe the devastating changes and the destruction that they were seeing.

About the Author

Why do I write? I write because I feel a need to express my deepest feelings. I feel safe to show my vulnerability on paper, and it gives me comfort. I have not shared these poems except with two or three people. I was not sure if I wanted to publish them until recently when I had been reading The Right to Write by Julia Cameron, and I was convinced that I needed to share my voice.
