Maged Zaher: Illness

Illness is comprised of poems by Maged Zaher taken from several notebooks dating to 2023, detailing the poet’s lived experience with illness. The poems are deceptively spare, winding a jagged path through the complexities of illness on a day to day scale, entreating the reader “walking the limited childhood streets / And touching language looking for a path” to stop and listen.
