Book Review 96: Rhythm of Remembrance by Samir Satam.
An anthology of poetry, Samir Satam's recent book, Rhythm of Remembrance, portrays an emotional journey of the author; reminiscing the memories of past. The deep emotional impact memories have is reflected in each of the poems in this collection. Short, yet deep and meaningful, the poems have an emotional tone. As is quite evident from the title of this anthology in each one of the poems, the author rediscovers and reminisces the past memories; he is dancing to the 'rhythm of remembrance' through the poems. "not from any country, but we come from our stories, from fragrance of memories, of unknown cities and villages, that we live in and carry with us, in breezes, in steps, not our own, but of places that flourish in our souls." (Rhythm of Remembrance, 68) There are a total of seventy-five poems in this collection and each one is unique and fresh. It is a short and easy read. Also, the photographs included between poems and they are absolutely beautiful. Altog
