On the grass

Book title: عليه العشب Author: محمد العامري Publisher: خطوط وظلال Book classification: Novel Number of pages: 216 About the book: This is a book about love climbing the horizon, inspired by poet and artist محمد العامري on a mat of one hundred messages of love and messages, surrounded by a rainbow whose slogan is “عليه العشبُ,” guarded by the words of جلال الدين الرومي when he transforms what love touches into sacredness, poetry that harvests from the fruit of words the most precious and pure, not content with pictorial imagery or dazzling rhythm, but delving into the depths of secrets and their folds and mysteries to reach them with the longing of messages, message by message, breath by breath, and moan by moan. محمد العامري approaches the glow of poetic words to embed within them the treasure of passion, extending in the fabric of joy from light to fire, from wakefulness to darkness, from water to land, not distinguishing between one word and another except through poetry, until “عليه العشبُ” becomes a green sky pouring from the nectar of intimacy a softer cloud and purer rain. This is his singing of Sufi hymns rising from the womb of a transparent, blooming language that does not rely on memory, but delves into the fibers of new experience to charge it with the pain of hope, and ignites in the sparkle of its lanterns another title for love that has no name.
