Without alcohol

No alcohol The woman is the poem, this is how the poetess "Oula Al-Shami" portrayed her in (No Alcohol), and there is no harm in that, for all poetry written or to be written is connected to the woman, and the woman finds in poetry her man, her hero, and her instigator of femininity; and he beautifies her, completes her, perfumes her, and protects her from withering and forgetfulness. In the poem with which the poetess opens the collection "I, You, and the Poem," we read: Come, I love you here / in a small poem... / I hide in it from you sometimes / and you search for me in its lines / and I stand lost in a word / or sit lost in another word / I want it to be a balanced poem / so I can play with its balance / and your balance with it / and I destroy its sea / and free it from a calm, monotonous sea / that knows no turbulence / (...) I, you, and the poem / and all my lost words / and my loss between you and the poem / I read the poems of the world perhaps to find you / and I write poems to give birth to you, / so I love you... a forbidden love...". In this sense, Oula Al-Shami succeeded in penetrating the psyche of women, hiding behind meanings and words. "And I hide myself behind those lost meanings / waiting for you to find me..." So, woman, man, and the poem complete each other, and life only balances with them, according to Oula Al-Shami. And from here, this collection came about, about woman and for woman, with no choice but to listen to it and read it when it comes to you. The collection includes more than fifty poems in modern Arabic poetry, under the following titles: "I, You, and the Poem," "A Tribe of Breaths," "The Toast of This Planet!," "Tomorrow," "I... and I!," "I'm Looking for Her," "My Shadow," "Between Opposites," "I Will Free Her," (...) and other poems.
