The Sky Shines Through the Window

About this book

Hala Refaat Gaballah's poems move between nocturnal sorrow and the thin light that enters through a forgotten window. Longing, absence, dreams, and existential questions shape a collection that seeks hope without disguising hurt. The poet searches for herself in passing faces and tests whether love is safety or a force that leaves us exposed. Written for those waiting for joy after a long night, the collection transforms private feeling into images of fields, windows, boats, and sky where language can still make room for rescue.
