Description

The poem ‘Voice’ by Syrian poet, Rasha Omran, is written exactly once to write the word ‘Sawt’ meaning voice or noise, all written in the Diwani Jali Arabic Calligraphy script.

Voice
He didn’t say anything.
It was I, who chose to listen to him.

Having first met Rasha in 2009, at weekly poetry readings in Damascus, Syria, she was quick to change my perception of the middle eastern woman, as she recited the wisdom of her poetry to an entirely captivated audience of tipsy men, inside a smoky underground bar.

This design was one of eight, commissioned by Reels Festivals to accompany their poetry publication featuring contemporary poets from Lebanon, Syria, and Scotland. A piece was commissioned for each of the eight poets featured in the festival. In preparation for the festival, all of the poets traveled to Lebanon in order to translate each other’s poems from Arabic to English and vice versa, this is one of those recently translated poems.


بعد أن قابلت رشا لأول مرة في عام 2009 ، في قراءات شعرية أسبوعية في دمشق ، سوريا ، سارعت إلى تغيير تصوري للمرأة الشرق أوسطية ، حيث قامت بإلقاء شعرها لجمهور

مفتون تمامًا من الرجال البائسين ، داخل مقهى تحت الأرض مملوء بالدخان

كان هذا التصميم واحدًا من ثمانية تصميمات ، بتكليف من Reels Festivals ، لمرافقة منشوراتهم الشعرية التي تضم شعراء معاصرين من لبنان وسوريا واسكتلندا. تم تكليف قطعة

لكل من الشعراء الثمانية الذين شاركوا في المهرجان. استعدادًا للمهرجان ، سافر جميع الشعراء إلى لبنان لترجمة قصائد بعضهم البعض من العربية إلى الإنجليزية والعكس ، وهذه

إحدى القصائد المترجمة حديثًا.
