Description
Rejection, in itself, is a destructive element. But no radical revolution, no civilization, arises without rejection preceding and paving the way for it, like thunder before rain.
Rejection alone allows us, in the civilizational predicament we are experiencing, to hope for the flood that washes away and sweeps away, and for the sun that rises in its wake.
Whoever desires a free and humane future must embrace it and prepare for it with humanity and freedom.
In this horizon, the new Arabic poem is born. It embraces the event and transcends it. It rejects reality the moment it accepts, engages with, and lives it. It springs from the furthest reaches of the poet’s soul, carrying people with it in its departure and its aspirations.
Then it ceases to be merely a flute for grief-stricken feelings, or simply a mirror of sensitivity. It becomes an expression of the weight of history, its density and burden, in an atmosphere of rejection and longing, of terror and illumination.
