While reading the poems of Daryn Houmani, I never felt that my hearing or heart was distracted from them. Her poems captivated me, compelling me to read one after another, fascinated by the genuine and warm emotions expressed. With boldness, she conveys intimate desires, using poetry as a weapon against falsehood, triviality, dead beliefs, and feelings of alienation within society and its rituals. – Jawad Sidawi, Sada Al Balad Newspaper, Lebanese writer and novelist

Daryn Houmani's poems are exceedingly promising due to her mastery of language and imagery, skillfully crafting sentences in a style where ambiguity blends with clarity. – Abdul Halim Hammoud, Al Intiqad Newspaper, Lebanese journalist and painter

Daryn Houmani's poetry brings innovation in imagery and rebellion against reality. Her perpetual sadness and unending love for the land, homeland, and people pave the way for her poetic journey. – Omar Al Kouz, Al Jamahiriya Newspaper, Tunisian poet and lawyer
