I Love Too Quietly

Noor Iskandar's second collection of poetry and reflections encompasses confessions, expressions of unlove, and themes of faith intertwined with romantic love and loss. The collection explores human emotions, spiritual depth, and the complex nature of love, depicting the perspective of a nomadic lover and delving into feelings of pain, loneliness, and the quietness of love. It includes verses that reflect on almost lovers and the silent, almost inaudible expressions of love. Additionally, the poet's background as a multi-disciplinary artist and educator based in Singapore influences his work, which often concerns faith, art, Islamic aesthetics, and spiritual philosophies. His works have been exhibited and published internationally, and he is interested in feelings, the power of words, and cultural themes such as Iran, rain, old books, and desserts.
