Overview

This new collection of Nineb Lamassu focuses on love and romance; and the intimacy enjoyed by two passionate lovers. At times we meet poems exploring the most intimate aspects of a love relationship, through risqué and erotic language, and at times we come across poems describing the pain of separation and breakups. No Assyrian poetry has dared to explore love in such a way as Nineb Lamassu has done in this new collection. Thus Snakes and Apples is a groundbreaking work of literature and will remain a reference point for the coming generations of Assyrian poets.

Reviews

Through his Snakes and Apples, Nineb Lamassu breaks free from all inherited social constrains and ignores the limitations of all classical conventions and taboos of Modern Assyrian literature, by ignoring its redlines and venturing into new horizons. Without any doubt, this collection will cause quite a stir among the Assyrian public and initiate some very heated debates among the Assyrian readership, litterateurs and intellectuals: because this collection is a pioneering piece of literature and, from the perspective of its subject, it remains unparalleled in Modern Assyrian poetry. - Emil Gharib
