Overview

Without Sugar is a story told in poems, a journey every reader has tasted in their own way. It begins in the sweetness of childhood-four spoons in a father's tea, a jar of jam simmering on the stove, a world that feels safe and sugared. But sweetness has its limits. It fades, it disguises, it sometimes deceives. These poems move through memory and loss, through the delicate bond between parent and child, until what remains is the bare taste of truth. With images as simple as a cup left unsweetened and as complex as love itself, Israa Hussein invites us to reflect on our own aftertaste: what lingers when innocence thins, when illusions dissolve, when words finally stand without disguise. This book belongs to anyone-parent, child, or dreamer-who has ever discovered that what is honest is not always sweet, and that living without sugar may be the clearest way to live at all.
