Eidhaa Lithakirat Alwatan

About This Project

The poet’s third poetry collection, published by Dar Al-Adab in Beirut (96 pages) in 1973. This publication contains poetry written in classical Arabic, through which the poet interacted with the political disturbances in Bahrain during the sixites and presented poems that embodied the spirit of resistance and struggle, especially when referring to iconic names to the people of Bahrain. Moreover, this collection glorified the homeland and the values of belonging to it and emphasized the role of poetry in expressing the heart of popular movements and the concerns of society.

The covers of the editions were designed by artists Ahmed Al-Arifi and Abdullah Yousef from Bahrain and Wajih Nahla from Lebanon.

This collection was reissued in three editions, each with 2,000 copies, the last of which was published by the Arab Foundation for Studies and Publishing in Beirut in 2000.
