On April 13, 1975, four Phalangists were murdered during the attempted assassination of Pierre Jumayyil. In a retaliation effort, the Phalangists attacked a bus filled with Palestinian passengers, killing twenty seven of the occupants. And so began a civil war in Lebanon that would last sixteen years and take more than one hundred thousand lives. In his posthumous collection of poetry, Haas Mroue offers deeply moving lyrical verse that details his traumatic experiences as the chaos of the war in Lebanon engulfed his childhood, as well as the experiences of the some nine hundred thousand who were forced to flee their homes. Recalling how he helplessly witnessed rockets flying over rooftops and listened for names of the dead on the radio, Haas relies on strong imagery as he shares how he lived through a war with no name and somehow managed to escape Beirut with nothing but his memories. Originally written some twenty years after he fled the war, the poetry in Beirut Seizures carefully examines difficult subjects and politically charged ideas with grace, emotion, and a strong voice, making it a powerful statement about the impact of war on ordinary people.

The Passport Stamper

By: Haas H. Mroue

As Jason travels from Greece to California to celebrate Christmas with his family, he is happy to temporarily leave his job at the State Department behind—as well as his penchant for unavailable men. But as Jason reflects on his life while gazing out the airplane window, has no idea that in just a few short hours, his parents will die in a car accident, sending his world spiraling out of control. As soon as Jason’s plane lands in the United States, he is immersed in all that follows tragedy. But Jason has just come out of the closet, and he has many other emotional issues to resolve besides his complex grief. A day later, Jason escapes back to Greece, never realizing that his journey to the truth has just begun. The Passport Stamper shares an intimate glimpse into the life of a homosexual man as he searches for peace and attempts to become the man he has always wanted to be.
