Your pain multiplies a thousand times, crushing a body that cannot handle it, like fire scorching a wound against its will... among the injuries that have not healed, I melt... I am torn and react. How many dreams we had, and fate decreed that these dreams would never be completed. Siham Fatchati, a Moroccan architect born in Rabat in 1988, has been passionate about poetry since childhood. She always considered it a refuge to channel emotional energies and a tool for expressing thoughts and feelings in a sophisticated and distinctive manner. 'The Pain of Absence' is her first poetry collection, written mostly between 2005 and 2014.
