Today, Sunday, the Egyptian Mohamed Ibrahim Abu Senna and the Syrian Shawky Baghdadi won the Ahmed Shawky Prize for Poetic Creativity in its second session presented by the General Syndicate of the Egyptian Writers Union.
The union said in the rationale for awarding the award that Abu Sunna (84 years old) “moved his poetry between a living reality that he rejects and cannot change, and a possible one that he seeks and evaluates in the poem, so his voice was distinguished in the poets of the sixties, and the aesthetic values spread in his poetry were exalted by high national and moral values.” .
Among the most prominent of his poetry collections are “Winter Garden”, “Screaming in the Old Wells”, “The Sea is Our Time”, “Nile Dances”, “The Ashes of Green Questions” and “The Ward of the Final Seasons”.
As for the Syrian Shawqi Baghdadi (93 years), the Syndicate described him as “a poet with his unique and special voice … his text searches for the values of freedom and justice.”
Among the most prominent of his books are “More than One Heart”, “Every Love Has a Story”, “A Mouth-sized Voice”, “Leila Without Lovers”, “The Return of the Beautiful Child” and “Something About the Soul.”
The Ahmed Shawky Prize for Poetic Creativity, in its first session in 2019, went to the poets Ahmed Abdel-Moati Hegazy from Egypt and Abdel-Aziz Al-Maqaleh from Yemen.
