Rising

Let's dance over a rope,

Love the comfort of our skeletons.

Let's travel further than our dreams.

Let's sing the chords that have rusted in our throats, and the melody that's still in the cells of our brain.

Born and raised in Damascus where she fell in love with the power and the beauty of literature, Najiba moved to Ireland then to the UK in the early 90s.

No Rush was her first published work in English.
