The highly anticipated new collection of poems from Kamand Kojouri focusing on human struggle, resistance and, ultimately, hope

In this powerful and evocative collection, poet Kamand Kojouri explores themes of resistance, empowerment, and hope. The four sections (Cries of Common Pain, Call to Action, Songs of Hope, and Echoes of Hope) are skillfully interwoven and resonate with urgency and relevance.

During these turbulent times when the world at large is experiencing a crisis in humanity, God, Does Humanity Exist? is a beacon of light that encourages us to think and act with more compassion, empathy, and understanding.

“All of the crises that are taking place across the world, from the anti-muslim violence in India to the armed conflict in Yemen: they are not a city or a nation’s plight; they are the world’s plight. This is apparent, more than ever, as we are facing a borderless pandemic. It’s not a refugee crisis in Syria, or a European refugee crisis—it’s humanity’s crisis. We must voice this common pain and demand a change.” – Kamand Kojouri
