Qasaed Motawahesha | Nizar Qabbani

After Nofal included in her list of publications the literary legacy of the most popular poet in the Arab world, Nizar Qabbani, whose poems approach different fields such as politics and patriotism, especially love and women, she issues his individual collections in a new, modern look, in tribute to the poet of love and women, the poet of Beirut and Damascus, Poet of Dreams and Revolution.
Nizar Qabbani - The “Poet of Love and Women” was born in 1923 into an ancient Damascene family. He studied law at the Syrian University. Immediately after graduating from it in 1945, he joined the diplomatic corps and spent nearly two decades in it, moving from one capital to another and being open to different cultures. After the publication of his first book, "The Samra Said to Me" in 1944, his books varied between poetry, prose and politics. The release of each of them, each time, was like a storm in the Arab world. A number of his poems shone with the voices of elite singers, from Umm Kulthum to Fairouz, Magda Al Roumi and Fadhim Al Saher. Nizar Qabbani was a milestone in everything he wrote, and despite the personal tragedies that befell him, he kept dreaming, loving, revolting, and writing until his last breath. He died in London in 1998, and was buried in his hometown of Damascus.
