(Previously titled: 'Mirror and Ashes: The Lost Lullaby of Resistance')
This book is a lament and a lullaby of hope rising from the ashes of Gaza. Poems echoing from the wounded lands of Palestine will make you feel the cries of innocent children in your heart; the silent prayers of mothers will stir your soul. Every line speaks of humanity's deepest wounds while renewing your faith in freedom and justice.
Why read it?
Striking Themes: A universal epic of resistance where the dark shadow of genocide intertwines with the innocent dreams of children and the heartache of mothers.
Philosophical Depth: Sartre's freedom, Camus's absurdity, Nietzsche's power, and Heidegger's 'being-there' are reborn in the magical metaphors of poetic language.
Literary Sensitivity: A touching journey woven with motifs of death, grief, betrayal, mercy, and resistance, from 'Guilt Before the Mirror' to 'The Legacy Whispered by Ashes.'
Embracing the Universe: Poems that invite the reader to face their conscience, like a mirror; a wall of sound echoing both silence and hope.

Draft Time: From the Drafts of Time to Eternal Stories
Every book begins with a “first draft” — a spark in the heart, a tremor on the page. At Draft Time, we pursue that very spark. We build a bridge that carries the world of the writer into the heart of the reader, transforming raw ideas into refined treasures.
On this journey, where we embrace the bold, original, and touching voices of both local and world literature, we believe in the transformative power of storytelling and see every book as a legacy of humanity.
We are a publishing house that turns the drafts of time into eternity.
