Echo of My heart: Memoir in poetry (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798349627651)

Echo of My Heart is a memoir in poetry that traces an extraordinary journey across continents, cultures, and identities. Through lyrical verse and emotional resonance,

Sassa Aissou opens a window into a life shaped by migration, memory, endurance, and love. Born in Algeria, she grew up where rhythm and language beat like a second heart. That rhythm would carry her far - from the warmth of North Africa to the world stage as an Olympic athlete, and eventually to the bustling streets of New York City, where she now lives as a poet, wife, and mother.

This deeply personal collection weaves together the stories of three worlds - Algeria, the Olympics, and America - revealing the complexity and beauty of living between them. Aissou explores the layered experiences of womanhood, motherhood, athleticism, and artistry with grace and strength. Her poems speak to the quiet power of heritage, the resilience passed down through generations, and the pulse that continues to echo through time and distance.

With every line, Echo of My Heart invites readers to feel what it means to carry many identities and still find one's voice. Aissou's words beat with the rhythm of survival, memory, and transformation - an offering of hope and connection for anyone who has ever straddled worlds or searched for belonging.

This collection is not only a tribute to the poet's homeland and journey but also a universal meditation on endurance, displacement, and the ties that bind us to where we come from and who we become.
