Ali Z

Ali Z is a Lebanese American writer raised in Dearborn, Michigan, whose work explores love, faith, betrayal, identity, mortality, and the search for meaning. An introspective and existential writer, he draws upon a lifetime of relationships and personal experience as well as his Lebanese heritage and Islamic faith. Remnants of Me, his first published collection, brings together poems and letters accumulated over many years alongside work inspired by meeting his wife, Diala, later in life. Through romantic, philosophical, spiritual, and often cosmic imagery, Ali examines both the wounds and the redemptive possibilities of human connection, writing for readers who believe that love can remain mysterious—and transformative—at any age.
