Far away gently on the sender

In a work that combines the beauty of storytelling and the diligence of academic research, the novelist Meral Al-Tahawi explores the fields of folk literature, searching for love poetry in the women's Bedouin heritage, to present in this book selections from the most fertile texts of love, loss, and elegy in the female memory. This book not only reveals the cultural maps of the birth and development of Gnawa or the oral Bedouin love poetry in Egypt and the Libyan Cyrenaica region, but also offers the reader enchanting poetic images of women's expressions of love, through a curated collection of poetic texts that reflect these forbidden and unspoken feelings in the history of female oral literature.
