In The Wake of Victory: Nier Cennas

By: Husain, Emir

In The Wake of Victory is a visceral collection of seven anti-war poems that strip away the masks of conflict to reveal the domestic ruins left behind. From the "scent of missing porridge" in a destroyed kitchen to the "sleepless sleep" of a mother, these verses capture the sensory erasure of home.

Written from the perspective of a "Witness," Emir Husain tries to put forward a reality covered with the raw, haunting empathy of a poet. This collection-paired with intimate "Witness Notes" for each poem-refuses to look away, casting a cold light on the specific destructions, silent rivers, and bloodied soil that remain once the bloodshed is put away.

Included in this collection:

The Cost of Triumph: An introduction to the heavy price paid behind the lines.The Pearl: An exploration of innocence lost in the dirt of battle.The Past Untouched: A recalling of the shared life and what is lost.Trail of Victory: The grim reality that remains after the horses have passed.My Home: A sensory mapping of displacement and architectural grief.The Lap: A study of the tragic weight carried by those left behind.Human: The final inquiry into the remnants of humanity in the shadow of war.
