“Qassim Haddad, one of Bahrain’s most radical modern
poets, has a habit of changing his poetic style as often as
other people change their shirts. He is fascinated by the
potential that words possess and his determination to
sculpt the Arabic language into new forms is always
guaranteed to cause a stir” (Bahrain Tribune). His first
collection of poetry was published in 1970 and to date he
has published more than 16 books in Beirut, London,
Bahrain, Morocco and Kuwait. He has also produced
“Blue Impossible,” a book of poetry combined with the
photography of the late Saudi photographer, Saleh al-
Azzaz and will launch his latest book, “Fascination of the
Question” on the same evening.
