Ich bin nicht was released on October 15.
From the Hanser Berlin website: "Whether in Damascus or in Berlin, no matter what language – writing has always been vital for Sam Zamrik. This volume bears witness to this, with the introduction of a poet who has passed through many hells and lost almost everything, including their own identity: "I am not". But the losses are offset by an untouchable wealth: a language that knows many pitches, from the solemnity of the Song of Songs to heavy metal heaviness."
Sam Zamrik, born in Damascus, is a poet, musician and translator. They worked as a band manager and songwriter in the underground music movement New Wave of Syrian Metal. Individual texts have been published by the WIR MACHEN DAS - "Weiter Schreiben" initiative and in various German newspapers such as taz and Tagesspiegel. Sam lives in Berlin. "Ich bin nicht" is their first book of poetry.
