The Cemetery of Drowned Voices is a journey into the silent regions of the human mind the places where unspoken emotions are buried, where memories become ghosts, and where the self fractures in order to survive. In fifty haunting poems, Jahir Abbus explores the psychology of grief, the weight of suppressed thoughts, and the quiet architecture of loneliness.
Each poem acts like a mirror held just close enough to reveal what we avoid seeing: the conversations we rehearse but never speak, the parts of us we abandoned to keep others comfortable, the versions of ourselves that stayed behind in darker rooms. Through symbols of windows painted shut, hollow lighthouses, forgotten mirrors, and mythic shadows, this collection uncovers the truths we store beneath our ribs.
Yet beneath all the darkness, a pulse remains the slow return of breath, identity, and fragile hope. These poems guide the reader through ruin not to break them, but to remind them that surviving is a form of rebellion, and healing is a form of resurrection.
If you have ever felt unheard, unseen, or undone, these pages will feel like recognition.
If you have ever carried silence like a second skin, they will feel like release.
This is not just a book of poems.
This is where buried voices rise again.
