Kullamā Ānistu Ḍawʾan (Whenever I Perceive a Light) is the second poetry collection by Syrian writer Narjis al-Ḥalabī, published in 2022 by Sameh Publishing. Spanning 138 pages, the book continues her experimental journey through poetic form and voice, blending quiet introspection with bursts of expressive intensity.
The collection explores:
The search for personal voice amid the noise of digital and social media
A tension between inner solitude and external chaos, often reflected in shifting tones
The metaphor of light as a symbol of clarity, hope, and fleeting revelation
A style that oscillates between minimalist lyricism and fragmented prose, evoking emotional dissonance
Al-Ḥalabī’s writing is marked by a desire to carve out a distinct poetic identity in a world saturated with competing narratives. Her verses often feel like whispered confessions, yet they carry the weight of collective longing.
