لا أحب الآفلين

“I don't like people who fade”

It is the third divan of the Egyptian poet Mohamed El-Mostafa (issued by Al-Ain publishing house January 2020). The divan is considered a continuation of the loneliness state that the poet created in his life, with which he built his own world between loneliness, writing, and Internet that unites people in their bedrooms under fabricated characters created by the keyboard. “I don't like people who disappear," is a divan using the style of epigram, condensing his poetic world in flows and snapshots that take from the movement of stories just as they take from poetry, so that writing here achieves what consciousness cannot achieve. When he declares his rejection of disappearing, he practices it through writing, and at the same time, an act of resistance against disappearing is exercised. El-Mostafa, who was born in Upper Egypt, definitely adopted the "epigrama" as a form of art and used it to identify his poetry. El-Mostafa, who was born in Upper Egypt, definitely adopted the "epigrama" as a form of art and used it to identify his poetry. Writing here accomplishes what consciousness cannot because poems emerge in their condensed form as a poetic bullet that is not devoid of surprise in the linguistic structure and combines storytelling with the construction of the traditional poetic sentence, filled with the strangeness of photography throughout the poetic narrative. The poet begins his divan by a dedication for “Maltesers chocolate” standing in the midst of a world of love and losses appreciating his losses rather than lamenting them.
