Naqsho recovers the circumstances of the printing of his first collection of poetry “From Leaves of Another Autumn” in 1993 in the Arab Writers Union, when the poet Hanna Abboud helped him to later succeed his ten poetry collections in addition to a manuscript on his way to printing in the union.

Regarding the sources from which he draws his poetic poems, Naqsho shows that the aesthetic values ​​that he perceives in his visual world were the source of his inspiration, which was transformed into poetry and poems full of sensual images and poetic music in which critics see a new style of modernity embellished with the flavor of the past.
