My Hope Is That Countries Like Morocco

For Me, Poetry Is A Situation - A State Of Being, A Way Of Facing Life And Facing History.

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 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.

Emigration Is No Longer A Solution; It's A Defeat. People Are Risking Death, Drowning Every Day, But They're Knocking On Doors That Are Not Open.

I Am A Moroccan Writer Of French Expression.
