In the process he considers profound, existential questions. What is the purpose of suffering? How do we define freedom? Can hope flower from pain? Surreal images leap off the page to startle our perceptions and embed themselves in our consciousness. The poems reverberate with a haunting musicality, floating like water lilies on the Nile, pulsing like flames in the desert night.\u003cp\u003e- Marian Christie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarial Awenditis a South Sudanese poet, essayist and songwriter, widely published in various literary magazines and anthologies.He is the author of: The poetry chapbook, \u003cem\u003eThe Night Does Not Drown Us\u003c\/em\u003e, Babishai-Niwe Poetry FoundationHis debut poetry collection, \u003cem\u003eKeeping the Sun Secret, \u003c\/em\u003eMwanaka Media and Publishing Ltd.\u003cbr\u003eMarial won the \u003cem\u003e2016 South Sudan Youth Talent Award\u003c\/em\u003efor the category of Best Poet and the \u003cem\u003e2018 Babishai-Niwe Poetry Award.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of poems journals the poet's transition from darkness into light. The author talks of his coming into the world many years after his birth. Such conversion is what he calls a brewing dawn. The resurrection from despair into hope, faith in God and arrangements for a journey into a brighter light, are wielded by the poems. The author tells his story using various themes, in a familiar manner, yet some of the pieces spell the exact environs of the author. Some poems carry the writer's attempts to brighten the way towards hope, for others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42718954553407,"sku":"9781914287213","price":24.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/952a22867bd896524a513da52c61f2da.webp?v=1765083855","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/whispers-over-a-brewing-dawn-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
