Three generations of his family driven from their homes - the mountains, then Simele, then the Khabur. In 2015 ISIS reached the last of those villages, where his brothers and sisters were living, and blew up the church on Easter morning. Volume One of Yonan Houma's collected works gathers five books written from the far side of that century: Nineveh, Hymns to the Melodies of Dawn, Vibrations of the Soul, Your Eyes and the Poem, and The Cloud That Rains in My Head. Through all of them a single beloved keeps changing shape - a woman, the goddess Ishtar, the lost capital of the Assyrians - and Houma insists, after everything, that love is the only thing worth building a world on. In English for the first time.
