Moving through the four temperaments, Shams Alkamil crafts a lyric architecture that holds Sudanese identity, familial lineage, political violence, spirituality, and the pursuit of compassion in delicate tension. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese poems braid etymology with embodiment, tracing how language is inherited, questioned, and transformed. Alkamil interrogates what it means to belong--to a homeland fractured by violence, to a lineage marked by survival, to a spiritual tradition that both anchors and unsettles. Across the collection, voice becomes both offering and resistance: a means of devotion, protest, and continuity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRooted in Black diasporic consciousness and spiritual inquiry, \u003ci\u003eI Who Have Always Felt Words\u003c\/i\u003e insists on the necessity of speech even when silence is demanded. This is a book that listens deeply--to ancestors, to faith, to grief--and answers with clarity, grace, and unflinching honesty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shams Alkamil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771684828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771684828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Central Avenue Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs","brand":"Shams Alkamil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874733109503,"sku":"9781771684828","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-who-have-always-felt-shams-alkamil-9781771684828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
