Badr Shakir Al-Sayyab

"Al-Sayyab wrote ten poems, at least, they are among the most beautiful Arabic poems that were written, since the fifties of the last century until today. This is enough to remain. And this is enough for me to love him." Adonis A special for history and humanity, as he understands the language itself and its expressive capabilities. So his reward was the reward of every rebel: he must die in some way, before the nation notices his genius and his lasting presence. However, if Al-Sayyab lost the world during his few years of life, he first gained himself, then he gained with it that immortality that is only accessible in every era to a small number of individuals. Jabra Ibrahim Jabra Al-Sayyab still remains a concern for me, and his poems still attract me and evoke in me a forest of questions." Sarkoun Polos
