A Bright Mind, a Dark Reflection

By Ghazal Meer

Have you ever felt different from others? Have you ever felt split between nations and cultures and are your language skills so brilliant that you can’t speak one language perfectly because of the many you are able to speak?

The poetry collection ”A Bright Mind, A Dark Reflection” is a book for you if you have felt completely incomplete or trapped in a world where you don’t belong. The poems are a mix of deep imagination and real life-experiences.

In the book the unique mind is in focus; the weak, brave and powerful mind;
as Ghazal Meer writes about the memory in a poem:

“I wonder how I still breath,
how my heart still beats,
and how my mind still is capable of functioning
when it remembers everything that has happened”
