The poems in The Taste of the Earth weave together personal history with the complex cultural heritage of Hedy Habras countries of origin. Steeped in memories, loss and longing, these poems invite the reader to revisit Egypts mythical past and Lebanons turmoil, recalling the intersecting roots of culture and language in an act of artistic recollection that bridges time and space. Through the lyrical power of the senses, Habras poems bring to life scenes of strife and upheaval as well as profound joy. Such images linger in the mind and keep evolving in search for the permanence of beauty within suffering as they are evoked by trees, houses, fountains and familiar objects, each voice offering with its testimony a broader perspective on the interconnectedness of worlds and universality of emotions.
