SYRIE - UN SEUL OREILLER POUR LE CIEL ET LA TERRE

Considered one of the greatest living poets, Adonis, born on January 1st, 1930 in Qassabine in the North of Syria, obtained Lebanese nationality in 1962 after being imprisoned for his membership in the Syrian Nationalist Party. Founder of several poetry magazines where he translated Baudelaire, Henri into Arabic Michaux, Saint-John Perse, he seeks the renewal of Arabic poetry contemporary. After the Lebanese civil war, he settled in Paris in 1985. The wonderful poems that accompany Fadi's photos of Syria, a country martyred by an endless war, are a hymn to life.
