Welcome to my Diwan — the House of Word and Light.
I am Amal Al-Jubouri —
poet, filmmaker, scholar, publisher, translator,
human rights lawyer, and journalist —
a seeker of meaning in the ruins of time.
Here, language remembers what history forgets.
Every poem is a pulse of survival,
every film a bridge between loss and revelation.
From Baghdad’s ashes to Berlin’s dawn,
I gathered fragments of memory
to rebuild the face of a civilization
that refused to disappear.
This space is not a website —
it is a living archive of spirit and thought,
where poetry meets philosophy,
where cinema becomes testimony,
and where words rise to defend the dignity of being.
Enter with the heart of a reader,
the eyes of a witness,
and the soul of one who still believes —
for remembrance is resistance,
and beauty is a form of truth.
Welcome to the Diwan of Light and Memory.
— Amal Al-Jubouri
