Dīwān al-Muhājir: Afwāh Yamlaʾuhā al-Milḥ (The Immigrant’s Verses: Mouths Filled with Salt) is a deeply introspective poetry collection by Moroccan-American poet Bushʿayb Kādir, published in 2022 by Sameh Publishing. Spanning 104 pages, the book captures the emotional landscape of exile, alienation, and the quiet grief of being forgotten in foreign lands.
The poems reflect:
The invisibility of migrants in societies that neither recognize nor remember them
A poetic dismantling of the psychological barriers we build to avoid confronting our own fears and suppressed emotions
A lyrical style that evokes salt as metaphor—for tears, wounds, and the bitterness of memory
A universal resonance with readers living in the age of displacement and diaspora
Kādir’s verses are not just personal—they’re collective echoes of a generation navigating the blurred lines between belonging and erasure.
