The poems in <i>Chasing a Moving Landscape<\/i> narrate and probe our times, and in doing so they enlighten and offer much needed solace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2014Khaled Mattawa, author of <i>Fugitive Atlas<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As he chases a moving landscape in language, Mbarek Sryfi writes powerfully in praise of in-betweeness. Streets are adorned with broken promises, houses no longer seem like houses, wooden tables scarred with coffee rings, and the writing here is a requiem heard from old places while vinyl records are turning and all the while one\u2019s English is tongue-tied and the experience of it\u2014inside or out\u2014is that of disquiet. We want to know where \u201call this pain\u201d could be hidden. Nevertheless, the poems themselves are \u201cleft to tell the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2014Al Filreis, author of <i>1960: When Art and Literature Confronted the Memory of World War II and Remade the Modern<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Gentle, reflective, hermetic, personal yet generous, Mbarek Sryfi lives in nature and nature reveals his intention. These poems are tectonic and organic interludes, insightful moments of solitude, elegiac and transient memories in town and country. Immersed in vivid drifts of experience, a sacramental poetry of murmurations,\u00a0<i>Chasing a Moving Landscape<\/i>\u00a0is a precise and fluid collection of poems rich with quiet tension and subtle strength, comforting and contemplative admissions of a sensual world. These are poems you cannot turn away from. \u00a0Someone has been here, and the poet has offered you his heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2014Michael Rothenberg, author of <i>In Memory of a Banyan Tree<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavenderink.org\/site\/books\/mbarek-sryfi\">Mbarek Sryfi<\/a><br \/>\n9781956921038<br \/>\n&#8220;These are poems you cannot turn away from.&#8221; <span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">\u2014Michael Rothenberg<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13699,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[236,16],"product_tag":[403,129,18],"class_list":{"0":"post-13698","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-books","7":"product_cat-lavender-ink","8":"product_tag-mbarek-sryfi","9":"product_tag-morocco","10":"product_tag-poetry","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"featured","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple","19":"berocket_lgv_grid","20":"berocket_lgv_list_grid"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
