The hammock trail is closed Arabic Kindle Edition
The Danish National Book Association published the poetry collection “The Trail of Swings is Closed” by the Danish researcher and poet of Palestinian origin, Hassan Al-Asi.
The book “The Path of the Swings is Closed” is the fifth collection in the poet’s career.
The book consists of prose poetic texts. It includes thirty-seven different poems, ranging from iambic poetry to modern poetry. The book is 195 pages long. The book was presented by the Moroccan poet and critic Ahmed Al-Sheikhawi. Cover designed by Canva Foundation.
As stated in the introduction of the book:
“The Path of the Swings is Closed” is an overdose of pain that continues to loom over the horizon of the visions furnished by the worlds of poetic architecture of our poet, and awakens the haunted by the fragments of memory, within the limits of an expressive synthesis contained in the oppressive and cloaked revelation of a low, epic, and conflicting soul with an aesthetic ideological mixture imprinted by a refined, spectral spiritual fermentation of the mirrors of painful essence. What is challenged in the cases of violating the sanctity of the identity dimension in its Arab dress is the extent of reducing the poem and pouring it into it.
Hassan Al-Assi derives his poetic dictionary from life currents tossed around by concerns of double spiritual alienation, and pressing manifestations, just as their formulation abstracts from the memory of the seed, and whispered by the dissonant state in its chanting, folkloric spiral, and envelopment in the root.
Poems that flow like the sweet flow of other rivers, which are the stopping of a dictionary, hitting a handful of roses on a perfect cheek that mimics the cheeks of all of Laylana.
We are dealing with attractive and elegant writing. Texts that delve into the overall metaphor, and weave the mosaic of epithets by unifying their purposes, and melting their message dimension into the crucible of conceptual interrogations concerned with belonging.
A combination that seems to play on the strings of the heart, for which the self composes some of a whispering utopian Quran, through which the experience of alienation and the vocabulary of identity are fermented.
