Publisher's Synopsis
Amor Fati is Shabnam's most personal collection of poems yet. This short volume of poems encapsulates a gamut of personal experiences ranging from her traumatic yet formative experience of living under parental tyranny, the loneliness that comes with the lack of meaningful familial relationships yet the resolve to never give up on imbuing life with love and meaning, the resilience to integrate and transcend the trauma of a fractured parental-filial relationship, and finding the strength and discipline to not let past suffering embitter present relationships and to forge a purposeful life moving forward.AMOR FATI - the love of one's fate: "My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it - all idealism is mendacity in the face of what is necessary - but love it."- Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Hom
