Author: Dr. Lara Samhan

The poems in “The Atrium” and “The Ventricle” by Dr. Lara Samhan reflect her medical background and deep understanding of human emotions, strength, and growth.

The twin books, published last month, are designed to complement each other thematically and symbolically, Samhan told Arab News recently.

Samhan is the author of three books and is widely recognized as a doctor, artist, researcher, and innovator. Her work has a strong focus on motivational literature and medical-inspired writing.

The titles refer to cardiac anatomy, with “The Atrium” named after the atrial wall of the heart, which is thin and delicate in structure.

The poems in “The Atrium” emphasize humanity, love, kindness, honesty, and compassion.

In contrast, “The Ventricle” draws its name from this part of the heart, known for its thick and powerful muscular wall responsible for strength and force.

The poems in this book reflect those same qualities, focusing on resilience, strength, power, confidence, and inner courage.

Together, “The Atrium” and “The Ventricle” form a balanced literary experience — nurturing the heart and soul with gentleness, empathy, strength and resilience.

The books, written in English and Arabic, are likely to be deeply motivational and impactful companions for readers at any stage of their personal journeys.

They are available at Jarir Bookstore.
