About Voices From a Forgotten Letter: Poems on the Syrian Civil War by Seif-Eldeine
Voices from a Forgotten Letter: Poems on the Syrian Civil War explores the Syrian Civil War from the perspectives of civilians, Unique in the war canon because of its focus on civilians, this book will give you a perspective of war you have never seen before. The civilians range from the young to the old, from the educated to the working class, from refugees to the wives of soldiers. Each civilian has a deep psyche brought about by the author’s ties to the region, undergraduate degree, travel in the region before the war, and extensive research.
“A record of a country and people in crisis rendered in fearless, anguishing detail.” Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
