About the poet:
Marwan Kamal is a poet from Daliat El-Carmel. His writing explores themes of nature and melancholy, stories and dreams, the multifarious definition of the self, the strains of daily life and facing them with virtue, attachment to words, and the challenges of communication. His poems attempt to experiment with different styles inspired by different poets, still linked by evocative imagery, intertextuality, and a personal tone, writing mostly on his way to work and on the night rides home. Marwan’s interests include art history, film, music, stoicism, biographies, traveling, dogs, running, and sleeping.
