On 28 January, the Recital Hall will welcome Kuwaiti poet Abdullah bin Alloush for the season’s first poetry night, titled “Harwat Shita”. Named after one of his poems, the evening will also feature a rich selection of his most celebrated and recent pieces, including “Wajhak Balad”, “Kithr Al-Mawasel”, “Noor Al-Qamar”, “Taghutt Al-Noor”, and more.
Abdullah bin Alloush comes from a family with deep roots in Nabati poetry. He belongs to the Bani Hajer tribe, and both his father and grandfather were poets. Among his siblings and peers, Abdullah stood out for crafting verses that reach the audience’s heart with warmth and ease, free of affectation. He wrote his first poem in 1988, when he was only fourteen, and his first published poem appeared in 1990, at the age of sixteen, addressing the Iraqi invasion. Many of his brothers later followed his path into poetry, as did his nephews, while several of his cousins had preceded him as well. His body of work includes praise poems, elegies, poetic responses, and many other pieces. Known for his simple, approachable character and the strength of his verse, he has been given several titles, including “The Poet of Bani Hajer” and “The Poet of Ordinary People”.
