Damascus-SANA
The poetic meeting held by the Arab Cultural Center in Al-Midan varied between metered vertical poetry, activation and prose texts, in addition to a bouquet of spoken poetry.
The meeting, in which Mowaffaq Othman, an accompanist on the oud, and Hisham Abdel-Al, presented the poet Ghadeer Ismail, began with a collection of poems that were characterized by their bearing the concerns of society and the human being in content and their tendency to music and rhythm in terms of form.
The poet Ismail explained to SANA that the music is an integral part of the poem, as it sings and intertwines with the content to form the poetic meaning, and despite his attempts to write the prose poem, he failed in that, as if the poetic music inhabits it.
The poet Fares Daadoush also participated in well-balanced poems that varied between Al-Amoudi and Al-Tafi'ah that carried national, humanitarian and social concerns, and were distinguished by their images and meanings that tended to poetic modernity.
The meeting was concluded by the poet Akram Saleh Al-Hussein with poems that varied between the prose text and the spoken poem that carried emotional, human and emotional concern.
Al-Hussein indicated that the line he follows in poetry follows in the footsteps of his late brother, the poet Riyad Saleh Al-Hussein, as some see, and he does not consider this a defect, but rather a pride for him as long as the late was at the forefront of Syrian prose poets and as long as they enjoyed the same culture and heritage.
