In this collection, Hatif Janabi, celebrates man’s triumphs and defeats in a world of trials, tragedies, and absurdities. Through vivid metaphors, similes, and rare subject matters, the poet takes us into a magical and real journey, showing us the beauty of life, death, and nature represented by all its creatures. Like a Monarch Butterfly, returning home alone with tattered wings after a 5000 mile journey, just to fulfill its promise, Hatif Janabi’s poem carries the same weight and burden, awakening us to the agonies and tidings of undertaking such a challenging feat. The poet fights, through his poems, for man’s liberty against tyranny, prejudice, and violence in all its forms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DarArab","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54217321513345,"sku":"9781788710848","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7369\/files\/jpg_rgb_1500h_510ea425-b33f-49c7-a0d7-fe420c8d5f2a.jpg?v=1753271735"}],"url":"https:\/\/inpressbooks.co.uk\/collections\/hatif-janabi\/kahtan-mahboub.oembed","provider":"Inpress Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
