Dance of the Metaphors

By Rafik Romdhani

Dance of the Metaphors swings wide the gateway into the mysteries of the human condition. It is a fascinating collection of poetry that excavates the inner quest of humankind, exposing our deepest questions and anxieties about the visible and invisible realms alike. It brims with symbolism, imagery, and metaphors that act as portals through which the reader can seek the more profound meanings of life.

Tunisian poet Rafik Romdhani is an accomplished writer. He draws on an eclectic mixture of mythology, imagery, history, culture and human experiences to fashion his rich and evocative verses. The murmurings from the poems in his first collection provide the soundstage upon which the created experiences are heard from the moment they are birthed. His verses lay down the paving for the interminable journey of the poetic 'I' and 'Eye.'

Romdhani's poems celebrate love, hope, dreams, and imagined dawns for a new being and wider existence, but they also attempt to depict the undiscovered soul in each of us, with poems about loss and the sighed-upon past, poems about doubt and despair, death and fear.

Dance of the Metaphors moves freely to the fugue of a lofty wave of untethered meanings in a tempestuous ocean of emotions. It is infused with unfamiliar sounds and wordplay that can overpower our past and future, and in so doing, offer us more space to experience our present.
