HAUS FÜR POESIE

Rabab Haidar, born on 26.10.1977 in Lattakia, Syria, resides in Berlin. In my mind lives a question: Can words rearrange or rescue the world? Can a poem stop a war? World uncertainty drives the poem. It flows, sometimes submerging into the underground of unsettling truths. “The Colour of Baton” (Dittrich Verlag, AKZENTE, 2025) and “Saying Goodbye to Nina” (Mcsweeney's, issue 76: Aftershock, 2024).
