I am a guest of the French language. My poems in French are born of my interaction with the French language, which is not the same as that of a French poet.

Emigration is no longer a solution; it's a defeat. People are risking death, drowning every day, but they're knocking on doors that are not open.

My hope is that countries like Morocco will have investment to create work, so people don't have to leave.

An individual voice can be heard in a choir that otherwise sings in unison. This is something that is not excused.

I am a Moroccan writer of French expression.

Poetry is a form of mathematics, a highly rigorous relationship with words.

Most of those who died did not die of hunger but of hatred. Feeling hatred diminishes you. It eats at your from within and attacks the immune system. When you have hatred inside you, it always crushes you in the end.
