I Am A Moroccan Writer Of French

Poetry Is Not Only A Set Of Words Which Are Chosen To Relate To Each Other; It Is Something Which Goes Much Further Than That To Provide A Glimpse Of Our Vision Of The World.

I Love Life In Spite Of All That Mars It. I Love Friendship, Jokes And Laughter.

We Must Have Our Say, Not Through Violence, Aggression Or Fear. We Must Speak Out Calmly And Forcefully. We Shall Only Be Able To Enter The New World Era If We Agree To Engage In Dialogue With The Other Side.

I Came To Poetry Through The Urgent Need To Denounce Injustice, Exploitation, Humiliation. I Know That's Not Enough To Change The World. But To Remain Silent Would Have Been A Kind Of Intolerable Complicity.

I Am Glad To Have Found A Readership, But One Can’t Write Only What Is Likely To Sell. A Writer Is Not A Shopkeeper. A Writer Creates An Imaginary World That He Transmits To Others.
