FEZ, Morocco, Aug 28 (KUNA) -- The Moroccan poet Fatma Bou-Hrakeh has chosen six Kuwaiti poets to enrich her encyclopedia "100 women poets from the Arab world, poems speaking of love and peace." Bou-Hrakeh told KUNA on Tuesday, as she issued the electronic edition of her lengthy book, that she had selected the Kuwaiti poets Suad Al-Sabah, Nejmah Idriss, Janna Al-Qarni, Fatma Al-Abdullah, Saadiah Mefrej and Noura Al-Mlaifi to be among the renowned enlisted poets.
She has chosen the collection of these renowned female poets due to their leadership in the world of poetry and their noticeable effect in the poetic movement in Kuwait, in particular, and Arab countries, in general.
Her encyclopedic work, which covers poems by leading Arab female poets, preaches a message of compassion among human beings, in face of the language of destruction and violence.
The encyclopedia contains information about 2,000 male and female Arab poets, including 55 of both genders from Kuwait. (end) mry.rk
