Yusuf Misdaq

Into Solidity Yusuf Misdaq

The second book of poems by the Afghan author and artist Yusuf 'Yoshi' Misdaq, featuring a foreword from prominent Rumi translator Raficq Abdulla, MBE. Filled with simple profound metaphor poems, and some astounding (and shocking) prose pieces, 'Into Solidity' deals with, "an icy estrangement and detachment from this world, leading to the dissolution of the morale- and its subsequent attempts at reformation," and is described right at the outset as being suitable for those considering suicide. True to its promise, it is heavy-going at times, however the emotional journey of vivid and rhythmic movements eventually unfolds towards a light, resulting in a deep-rooted optimism in existence which is both inspiring and spiritual.
