final call" More than a hundred unforgettable flights at most of the world's airports from the age of eight to the age of fifty. He deserved the title of Badr Ibn Battuta!!! I visited five continents (Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Australia). The United States of America had the lion's share of visits, as I visited ninety-four states, and only Hawaii and Alaska remained. I rode most of the world's airlines in various classes and visited the world's most famous airports. On every trip, I had beautiful, funny, and some embarrassing situations. Getting lost at airports, being late for a flight, difficult inspections, turbulence, strange travelers, all of this and more I have experienced and I will share some of these stories with you.
This book collects selected texts by twenty-one male and female poets from different cultural and social backgrounds, regardless of the reasons and ways they left Syria, even though most of them left after the outbreak of the revolution in early 2011. Today they live in various countries in the Arab world and outside it, and many of them live in Germany especially.
These selections are an attempt to shed light on the Syrian poetic experience emerging in exile, which carries within it the diversity of poets’ styles, experiences, opinions and ages, and presents a picture of the reality of Syrian poetry abroad, without evaluating it, but rather as a witness to the changes occurring in poetry and parallel to the changes in the earth. Although the features of this experience have not yet crystallized, it demonstrates effective attempts to take Syrian poetry to other directions that will inevitably lead to new places in Syrian writing.
