Bassem Hajar: Complete poetic works (two volumes)

Bassem Hajar gathered in his poetry characteristics that remained a semantic sign of uniqueness that he always sought as seekers of the essence of creativity who provided their proof in writing. Bassem wrote about fragility and silence, about absence and family, and elevated his poetic architecture on the brick of thought, philosophy, and the global heritage of poetry, relying on a culture and vision that are not lacking in alertness. He is a poet of the few in the sense that he is a poet of depth, not abundance, of whispering, not shouting. His topics may be limited, but he addressed them with various styles of free verse that made his poetry lively and flexible in relation to a reader of varying levels. He dealt with language as an experience of living. Bassem’s poetry is an opportunity to observe the lived experience as it turns into language. For this reason, it combines simplicity and depth at the same time. The collections it includes: Very calm man’s preoccupations A narrator as if afraid to see Only if you touch The company of shadows Harshness professions Pure exhaustion
