Hussam Al-Eskandarany

Ahlam Al-Gassad (Dreams of the Body), Homoerotic Poems in Arabic Hussam Al-Eskandarany

In this new book, his fourth, Hussam Al-Eskandarany continues to deal with the subject of homosexual love. But this time, instead of writing poems only in colloquial Egyptian Arabic, he is adding for the first time poems written in classical Arabic. The homoerotic themes are there in all 30 poems of this collection, as well as his usual strong sense of humor. As always, his treatment of the subject of gay love is provocative and daring. The language used, either in colloquial or classical Arabic, is open, but slightly less shocking than usual! He tackles love scenes in minute and exciting detail, involving extremely erotic descriptions of the often hot, steaming action.
