Akram Alkatreb's verses capture the sense of the quotidian during war. His words, mere \"murmurs engraved on stones,\" long for and despair over an irrevocable past. At the heart of Alkatreb's work lies a preoccupation with trauma and the profound burden of alienation that accompanies exile. Nascent memories are shrouded by the \"scars of sleep,\" and words find themselves nostalgic for destruction. The ubiquity of violence that Alkatreb channels into his poetry does not tolerate enclaves of innocence. \u003ci\u003eThe Screams of War\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those trapped in conflict.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAkram Alkatreb\u003c\/b\u003e is a Syrian poet, residing in New Jersey.
