Tears and Tea

Far away it stays as reaching turns out to be a perceptual myopia. The words that one wants to shed, scream and write with blood writes she as calm and silent as a feather's resilience.

Heartaches are mere words, departures are sheer feelings that she portrays on a page when one fails to find ease but finds anyway, reading Iman Hamid.

The Poetess who paints the misery and joy as arrival and departure in airports, who said, "I shall write about everything I remember, in case our goodbye is permanent."

I never knew the language of hurt before reading her, a kind that guides one to have a reason more to feel alive in it. "Nights are longer for those minds that work like a boomerang" said she, meaning actions will happen a thousand times that has appeared earlier.

Iman Hamid with her poetry collection named Tears and Tea would make you taste every drop from your eyes sweet and your tongue to crave tea even more. As it does to me.

Iman Hamid's writing gives us fascinating insights into love and life, written mainly in the first person we feel the authors pain, pleasure and hopes, and fears. Her remarkable gift is stirring the reader's emotions to tears, questions and deep thought through parable verses.

Iman Hamid leads us to believe there is a yearning for something, something bigger than self, for God or for ethereal love. Reading her compositions we can enter a place of bliss and escapism, a perfect tea cocktail for true talking and therapeutic words.

A substantial debut collection of poetry ranging from aubade genre to elegy captures a fragment of her prolific mind.
