An insight into this new book reveals the author's unique vision of the duality between the self/woman and the other/man, a vision whose dimensions expand with the focus and intensity that characterize her writing.

The aspects of this vision are summarized in the author's insistence on defining the identity of the self/woman and elevating her self-awareness with a deliberate emotional balance, avoiding any reaction that could lead to a hostile stance against the other/man. The relationship between them is complementary, founded on the principle that each needs the other for completion. This is reflected in the book's dedication: 'To us, that we may remain thirsty; praying the prayer of passion.'

Najja elevates the status of the self/woman in her literary and epigrammatic expressions, such as, 'I am the song of intimacy, the daughter of wheat.' At the same time, she defines her position towards men and declares her true feelings for them and the importance of their role in her life, as she says: 'A child I am / imploring for your dawn / and praying for your nectar-dripping almond.'
