(When Dawn Sighs) A collection of poems by the writer Wadha Younis

Latakia-SANA

The third collection of poetry (When Dawn Sighs) by the writer Wadha Ahmed Younes of the type (The Flash from the Scattered Poetry) deals with emotional, national and social issues and is issued by the Syrian General Book Authority.

Wadha’s style ranges between clarity and ambiguity based on the principle of moderation, as it is a well-known aesthetic basis. She relied in her words on brevity and condensation, in which there is a degree of linguistic economy, as well as breaking the horizon of expectation among the reader by causing a kind of linguistic shock or at least astonishment because of the work on the language.

In an interview with SANA’s reporter, Wadha explained that the number of pages of her new collection is 118, in which she focused on the issue of thought, and that the feeling of love in it is ambiguous. The reader can only reach it by re-reading and contemplation. However, he may reach a multi-meaning, and this is not a defect in writing, but rather is another aesthetic basis. It relied on the image, but it is often a mental image based on wit and strangeness, and all of this fits purely spiritual and emotional states.

And about choosing the title, she indicated that the group’s texts were written in light of the war on Syria, and we still need the dawn, which expresses a new, calm phase in which Syrians sigh with dawn, out of love for Syria and longing for it to come back strong again.

Wadha pointed out that poetry at the present time ranges from quality to mediocrity, beauty and ugliness, and time is the most important critic who judges literary work as perishing or perpetuating.

It is noteworthy that the writer Wadha Younis, a faculty member in the Department of Arabic Language at Tishreen University, wrote for the cultural page in Al-Baath and Al-Wehda newspapers for several years. (Geographical Survey of a Historical Moon) and (For Omar.. Omar) in addition to (Women of Hair) is in press.
