He also published a prose book entitled “An Incomplete Piece of the Sky of Damascus” in 2015, which is a mixture of multiple types of writing. A story, an essay, a play, and a journey, which combine in the form of a narrative sequence to monitor the violent repercussions on human life in Syria today, through a narrator who lives war and siege and tells their stories in a Palestinian camp, so that the moment of the camp appears as a shortcut to all previous calamities. It is a personal and collective biography at the same time, and an attempt to stand on time as seen by the camp, that being that has stepped aside and whose voice we no longer hear, even though the camps do not stop reproducing and multiplying.
Raed Wahsh works as an editor for the cultural page on the Ultrasout website, and he has recently participated in a number of literary festivals in Europe, such as the Berlin International Poetry Festival.
