About this book

Salt and Saffron moves between Manama's alleys and the open Gulf. Written over ten years, these poems trace family, faith, migration and the smell of cardamom in a grandmother's kitchen.

Beautiful, quiet poems. I read the whole book in one evening and went straight back to the start.
