Although she left a great poetic and theatrical imprint in the field of Arab culture, the literary biography of the creative Fatima Badawi remained unknown to many, especially in Homs, where she grew up and grew up, which prompted the writer Jamal Al-Salloumi to highlight it in a lecture hosted by the Homs Writers Union.
Al-Salloumi saw in his lecture entitled “Fatima Badawi… Her Life and Literature”, which is part of the activities of the Al-Assi Literary Forum, that this poet, whose poetic experience since the forties of the last century has yielded a group of poetry collections, has outperformed the poets of her generation, even though she borrowed poetry with Sulaiqa. Affection is coupled with winged imagination and good thought, which is what we discern in her wonderful elegies.
Al-Salloumi added: Bedoui adored the Orontes River and its waterwheels, which is a feverish birth of Homs origin.
Ataa Badawi did not stop at poetry, but went beyond it to the theater, so she wrote many plays, and was the first to establish the school theater and the first to open a kindergarten school in Homs, in addition to her defense of the issues of her homeland and her honorable national positions, as she was the first to volunteer in the Palestinian Salvation Army in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-eight and all This was reflected in her literature, poetry and theatre.
It should be noted that Al-Salloumi holds a degree in Arabic from Al-Baath University. He writes novels and short stories for adults and children, and from his short stories “Rainbow Dreams” and “Potentious Dreams.”
