Safia Guerras was moved and inspired to write poetry after attending a Haiku recital, compelling her to express a reckoning with her inner self. She aims to share her inner voice to assist others in overcoming their struggles.
Born in Algeria, Safia’s global travels have not only been a source of personal enlightenment but also spurred her creativity, leading her to become a fashion designer, interior designer, writer, and inventor.
For the past two decades, settled in the Middle East to raise her children, she has pondered life’s meaning, drawing from her experiences and observations. She writes in English, her third language.
This book introduces Safia, not as a daughter, wife, mother, sister, or friend, but simply as Safia, the human being.
J’'ai été absolument captivé par 'O.N.E' de Safia Hussein Guerras. C’est une véritable pépite littéraire qui m'a transporté dans un univers fascinant et profondément humain. L'écriture est à la fois poétique et incisive, chaque mot semble avoir été choisi avec un soin méticuleux pour créer une atmosphère immersive et riche en émotions. L’auteure aborde des thèmes contemporains et pertinents avec une sensibilité et une profondeur rares. Elle nous pousse à réfléchir sur notre propre humanité, sur les choix que nous faisons et sur les conséquences de ces choix. C'est un livre qui vous interpelle et qui vous inspire à voir le monde sous un nouvel angle. Safia Hussein Guerras a su créer une œuvre d'une beauté singulière et d'une grande puissance émotionnelle. Je ne peux que recommander ce livre à tous ceux qui cherchent une lecture enrichissante et profondément touchante.
Safia's first book is a brilliantly written summary of enlightened - and enlightening - reflections delivered in full flow with rhythm - and blues - where each word resonates like the beat of a struggling heart sometimes too big to find its place, too fragile to be exposed and too angry to find peace. Through poetry, Safia found a way to channel and tame her overwhelming thoughts resulting from the complexity, adversity, and injustice featuring our violent world but also resulting in a beautiful rhythmic ode to the self. A self too often and too long forgotten or neglected but capable at any time of sudden transfiguration and spectacular awakening. Leading to the path of wisdom and inner peace.
Lovely Haiku style book, very well thought and written. Short and easy to read, but intense and beautiful meanings you can relate to. It’s actually a lovely present to buy for your loved ones. This book is now on my bedside table as I like it very much!
Absolutely loved this book. Profound, meaningful and thought provoking. It has become my daily mantra to re-read and reflect on what each written piece means to me. I truly hope there is a 2nd book coming soon!
