the desert

people but no paths

buses but no roads

fires blocking the way home

tires burning

the desert

somebody's brother... dead

but this was only a dream

scenes put together from a distant reality

Real but out of place

do not tell me what it takes to feel safe

In my sleep, there is war

In this memoir - a mix of poetry, prose, and storytelling - Leena Magdi describes a mind altered by grief.

Exploring the sudden loss of her brother and the war in Sudan, readers dive headfirst into Leena's world.

Laying bare the intricacies of her path along grief's journey and becoming acquainted with some of grief's many faces, it is the author's hope that she can help readers feel comforted and less alone in their own journey after experiencing sudden loss.
