Hello, dear readers!
I recently had the pleasure of appearing on Emirates Channel on their morning show program “Morning of the Emirates”, where I had the opportunity to delve into the world of reading and poetry and its significance to both the individual and society. The interview was a stimulating and enlightening conversation and I'm thrilled to share it with you all.
During the conversation, we explored the nuances of Arabic and English poetry and how my work serves as a bridge between these two rich literary traditions. Through my books, "Taintlessness" and "Fields of Poetry," I hope to provide a gateway for Arabic speakers to venture into the world of English poetry, and vice versa. This exchange of culture and perspective is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.
The books were also part of the vibrant Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, an event that never fails to inspire with its celebration of literature and creativity. The interactions I had there were truly heartening. Meeting you, discussing the books, and hearing about the impact my work has had on you was a highlight of the event.
One of my books, "Taintlessness", has a particularly unique design that encapsulates my artistic vision. It features a large bird composed of smaller birds of various types and shapes, all white against a black background. This design represents the purity and perfection I strive for in my work, while the diversity of the birds reflects the range of topics I explore in my poetry. The bird symbolizes the freedom of thought and expression, the ability to transcend the ordinary and venture into new realms.
I invite you all to watch the interview. Let's continue the conversation started in the interview - I would love to hear your thoughts on poetry, how it moves you, and what you think of my work.
Additionally, I encourage you to dive deeper into the world of poetry by checking out "Taintlessness" and "Fields of Poetry". Both books are available for purchase and I can't wait to hear your interpretations and insights.
Finally, I hope you will follow me on social media and keep up to date with my latest thoughts and works on this blog. Your engagement and interactions truly make this journey worthwhile.
Thank you for joining me in the exploration of poetry and the beauty of words. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
With warm regards,
Omar Albeshr
