Where Yesterday Sleeps is a meditative and quietly searing collection by Zein Amro, drifting between memory and longing, solitude and soft ache. With the clarity of someone looking back through time’s fragile lens, these poems explore the landscapes of childhood, selfhood, love lost and imagined, and the relentless pull of nostalgia. Amro blends words worlds apart together to create something truly meaningful.
Here, the past is both a weight and a balm; each poem moves with tender honesty, sometimes with sorrow, sometimes with surrender, always with a precise emotional resonance. Amro writes from the spaces in-between—between silence and sound, presence and absence, beginnings and what never quite began.
This is a collection for anyone who has lived inside memory and known its contradictions: how it warms and wounds in equal measure. In Where Yesterday Sleeps, poetry becomes a place to sit with all that remains unsaid, and to find beauty in the ache of remembering.
