Yahia Lababidi, Lebanese-Egyptian of Palestinian descent, is the author of twelve collections of poetry and prose. Lababidi's latest work, Palestine Wail (Daraja Press, 2024), is a lament for the ongoing genocide of Palestinians and a plea to heal our wounded world. His aphorisms and poems have gone viral and are read in classrooms, at peaceful protests and in religious services as well as at international literary festivals.
Lababidi has also contributed to news outlets, and literary and cultural institutions throughout the USA, Europe and the Middle East, including Oxford University, Pearson Education, PBS NewsHour, NPR and HBO as well as ABC Radio.
In this three-decade-long collection of aphorisms, Yahia Lababidi combines Eastern mysticism, Western philosophy and his Arab heritage to explore life's fundamental questions. Drawing from diverse traditions, he crafts concise observations about love, spirituality, suffering and self-discovery. Lababidi's aphorisms are at once philosophical and poetic, serving as beacons of truth in our fast-paced, digital age. In the words of Naomi Shihab Nye, beloved Palestinian-American poet: ‘If Yahia Samir Lababidi were in charge of a country, I would want to live there.’
In a time of genocide and world conflict, soundbites, and social media noise, What Remains To Be Said provides a much-needed space for contemplation, offering both wisdom and solace to all who seek them.
Lababidi is an aphorist of the spirit. His aphorisms could form a new gnostic religion, and I could dwell a long while inside them. Yahia Lababidi may be our greatest living aphorist.
— Sharon Dolin, poet
