"and whenever I am lost in translation, I peel the metaphor like an orange for you" The beginning of two sequences in Ghayath Almadhoun's I Have Brought You a Severed Hand (Action Books, 2025), translated by Catherine Cobham. 💫✨❤️💚🖤🤍✨💫 #poetryInTranslation 📚💙

The book on a tan wooden surface. Its cover features a stylized yellow hand, held up, palm outward facing, and bleeding (red) from a cuts at the base of its fingers and wrist. In place of a thumb there's a sitting, red figure, handless. The background is black. The lettering is white, red, and yellow, above and below the hand.How Hope Became Green Hope means that you fight windmills, not like Don Quixote, no, because he fought windmills believing they were devils with long arms. Hope is when you do exactly what I do, fight windmills knowing perfectly well that they are just windmills.I have brought you Syria I have brought you a rose made of concrete that resembles my past days, and dreams stripped of nightmares so you're not afflicted by memories, and whenever I am lost in translation, I peel the metaphor like an orange for you, and hide my poems that suffer from postmodern stress disorder. I have brought you a severed hand, so you have more hands and fingers of dynamite to point at the homeland, and whenever you light a fire I see it from far, far away and come to you from everywhere, as if you were Mecca, or I were the one who leaves and never returns.
