Afsana

In Afsana, Dr. Donia Gobar offers a powerful collection of poetry that gives voice to the unheard, the refugee, the mother, the forgotten, the resilient. With haunting beauty and emotional depth, these poems trace the quiet strength of those navigating war, exile, womanhood, and survival.

From the streets of Kabul to unfamiliar Western cities, Gobar paints vivid scenes of displacement and hope: a child’s laughter in a refugee camp, a mother’s courage behind closed doors, the bittersweet ache of leaving home, and the unspoken power of resilience. Her verses are both delicate and defiant, whispers of grief, echoes of strength.

Afsana is not just poetry; it is testimony. It is for anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost quietly, wandered far, or waited in silence. A mirror of memory and emotion, this collection will stay with you long after the last page.
