Beauty is first and foremost an emotion.

I am a Moroccan writer of French expression.

I write about wounds, the eternal treasons of life. It's not very funny, but it's sincere. My commitment is to sincerity.

To lead a country, you must periodically hold a national consultation in which people representing different programmes can make a bid for power.

My characters are driven by a passionate desire for justice. They are rebellious and incorruptible.

Poetry is not only a set of words which are chosen to relate to each other; it is something which goes much further than that to provide a glimpse of our vision of the world.

I read a poem every night, as others read a prayer.
