I know you from a dream

I Know You From A Dream is a collection of 110 numbered poems that reads as a confessional map of psychological and emotional terrain. Abdullah Khan writes from within struggle; anxiety, self-doubt, the weight of family trauma, particularly father-son dynamics, the gravity of loss, and the complicated pull between love and harm. The voice is direct and unpolished, the language deliberately raw: thoughts arrive as the mind presents them, without neat resolution. Yet across these entries moves a thread of resilience: the recognition that wounds become knowledge, that running from grief is its own form of living, that to articulate suffering is to begin to survive it. The work encompasses memory, friendship, mortality, self-discovery, and the paradox of finding meaning in pain. This is not poetry of comfort, but of witness, written explicitly for those who feel they don't belong, offering the solace of recognition and the proof that one is not alone in what breaks.
