A collection of modern poetry from the celebrated Egyptian filmmaker, Khairy Beshara, exploring themes of political disillusionment, existential struggle, and the fierce pursuit of identity.
In this searing volume of contemporary Arabic poetry, Khairy Beshara-a pioneer of Egyptian cinema and neo-realism-turns his acclaimed eye for social critique and raw emotion to the page.
Unceasing Destiny is a profound work of self-flagellation and social commentary that captures the psychological and political landscape of the modern Middle East.
Inside the Collection:Political and Social Critique: Beshara confronts the elites who engage in the exclusion game, revealing their unilateral viewpoints and astonishing certitude. The poems lament a society where the Middle Ages sneaked in and permeated society, urging readers to awaken from their heavy illusions.
Existential and Spiritual Journey: The poet grapples with his personal heritage, expressing a desire to escape personal responsibility and a profound happiness in his seclusion. The work is infused with Sufi themes and a quest for a spiritual core, discussing the idea of a Sufi sun and the hope of ascending to heaven.
The Nature of Love and Fate: The titular theme of Unceasing Destiny is explored through intense, deeply personal poems detailing the nature of illusory love, betrayal, and the struggle against being dominated by a sly, tiny figure who seeks to control destiny.
Current Events and Historical Echoes: The poems are anchored in specific crises, referencing the scene outside Cairo University, and the intense emotions surrounding events like the Gaza/Basbousa cat poems and the Moroccan Angel Rayan, blending the personal trauma of the moment with a wider historical context.
This is a vital, uncompromising collection from a major contemporary artistic voice, marking a transition from cinematic realism to poetic self-reflection.
