BEHIND THE TREE BACKS investigates a poetics of remembrance through senses that hover just below and just above the skin. The text excavates war and displacement through a constellation of animate memories carved out of deep pleasure as well as brutality, the ancient and the institutional, the everyday and the geopolitical. The book insists on a poetics that recall through vibrating auratic fields, violence, love, and sexuality; these sensations tremble and cohere in a musical and tightly composed lyric.Poetry.

Bagved træet rygge er en usædvanlig digtsamling, der i korte, koncentrerede stykker vækker minder fra en barndom og ungdom til live. Det er tekster, der husker krig, dufte, madretter og omveje til skolen. Det er tekster, der husker vold, kærlighed og seksualitet og lader alle disse sansninger hvirvle sig sammen i en musikalsk og stramt komponeret lyrik. Iman Mohammed, født 1987, er blandt de vigtigste unge digtere i Sverige.
