يتضمن الكتاب 7 فصول، يستقصي خلالها حسن قجّـة القيمة الفعليّة والرمزيّة لمدينة حلب في مراثي الشعراء، وكيفية انعكاس ذلك في قصائدهم، فمن البديهيّ أن يتفاعل شعراءُ العالم مع القضايا الكبرى التي تهمّ الإنسانيةَ بأسْرها، فكيف بمدينة حلب وهي المدينة المأهولة الأقدم في تاريخ الحضارة البشرية.
يستهل الكتاب بلمحةٍ عن رثاء المدن في النصوص الشعرية، ودراسةٍ تحليلية عن مواضيع قصائد الكتاب، ثم تُسرد القصائد مصنفةً وفق نمط صياغتها الشعرية ولغاتها الأصلية.
Aleppo in Contemporary Elegiac Poetry brings together more than 800 poems from five continents, written between 2011 and 2020, lamenting the tremendous and unfortunate destruction that the city suffered as a result of the ongoing war in Syria.
The book consists of 7 chapters, in which Hasan Kujjah investigates actual and symbolic value of Aleppo in the poets' lamentations, and how this is reflected in their poems. It is self-evident that poets around the globe interact with major issues that concern humanity as a whole, so they also engage with what happened to Aleppo, which is the oldest inhabited city in the history of human civilization.
The book begins with a glimpse of the lamentations of cities in poetic texts, followed by an analytical study of the themes of the poems in this volume, then lists the poems classified according to the style of their poetic formulation and their original languages.

The poems reveal that the poets were perfectly aware of the workings of the power systems that took control of their lives and lifestyle. Their poetry indicates that they did not remain silent but practiced their art in the face of their hardships, observing the collapse of their world with a mixture of despair and inspiration, bitterness and wit.
