Nectar of Pain

From Najwa Zebian—celebrated Lebanese-Canadian poet, speaker, and educator—comes a highly personal and moving second collection. In The Nectar of Pain, Zebian sheds light on the feelings and experiences that emerge from a painful heartbreak. She writes that the process of cleansing oneself of that pain—day by day, hour by hour, and second by second—is the real work of healing. With uncommon warmth and wisdom, Zebian empowers all who have lost to let go of anger and transform their suffering into the softness, sweetness, and beauty of nectar. She holds her readers by the hand as they heal.
'The Nectar of Pain' is a collection from Najwa Zebian, the Lenamese- Canadian author, poet and educator, whose major themes - searching for belonging; finding one's voice; life as an immigrant; life as a Muslim woman - are relevant to many people around the world, and particularly so at this political moment.
