Observe things, see life then paint it with your own words. Believe in the magic brush in your head, it always knows how to stroke and bring life and hope onto the page. Like any type of art writing poetry has a therapeutic power. You feel this power better when you live in a society where freedom of expression is restricted due to cultural, religious and political reasons.
After Gulf War we did not have electricity for many years. Because of sanctions we have endured severe financial difficulties. Books gave me strength, hope and light. I hope my REMOTE has similar impact on my readers.
