Rooted in Volcanic Ashes

By Bahman Sholevar

Rooted in Volcanic Ashes, is a sweeping meditation on love, exile, memory, and the human spirit set against landscapes both natural and historical. Through vivid imagery of mountains, seas, volcanoes, and ancient ruins, the poems capture the tension between beauty and destruction, hope and despair, intimacy and estrangement. They move fluidly across continents and cultures-Hawaii, Rome, Greece, Egypt-while grounding universal themes of longing, mortality, and the search for meaning. Both personal and mythic in scope, the collection reveals a poet wrestling with the elemental forces of life, weaving together tenderness, irony, and philosophical reflection into a lyrical testament of endurance and transformation
