Homs-Sana
The poet Badr Al-Din Al-Hamid was called the poet of Al-Asi by the literary club in Hama in the twenties of the last century. .
His title of “Al-Assi’s Poet” did not come out of nowhere, as Al-Hamid spent many years as an Arabic teacher in the secondary schools of Homs and Hama, both of which Al-Assi passes through. Hama is his birthplace and his childhood. He has many friends in Homs, including Sheikh Hashem Al-Atassi, Patriarch Avram Barsoum, the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch, and Najib Zain Al-Din, the famous singer.
The biography of the poet Hamid 1897-1961 was reviewed by the researcher in literature and culture Moataz Al-Barazi in a lecture at the Syrian Historical Society in Homs, where he explained that the poet Al-Hamid was known for his patriotic stances and struggled against French colonialism and was imprisoned in Arwad with some honorable militants.
He pointed out that his poetry was famous for its lamentations and sentiments on several occasions, especially his lament for patriotic figures such as Sheikh Saleh Al-Ali and the hero Youssef Al-Azma.
Al-Barazi explained that the texts of Al-Hamid were influenced by pre-Islamic poetry and by contemporary poets such as Ahmed Shawqi, Hafez Ibrahim and Maarouf Al-Rasafi.
