Al-Sham Poetry Collection reflects the poet Khaled Abu Khaled’s love for Syria

“Kitab al-Sham” is a collection of poetic texts by the late poet Khaled Abu Khaled compiled and published by the General Union of Palestinian Writers  after his death, embodying his great love for Syria and its capital, Damascus, and the historical ties that brought it together with Palestine and its project against Zionist occupation.

The book’s texts illustrate the poet Abu Khalid’s view of the Sham’s vigilance and its continued struggle to stand up to the occupiers in a poetic manner that links authenticity to contemporary and devotes emotion as a master of the text as it proceeds from a sincere sense.

In his poem (To Shama), Abu Khaled combined his love for the struggle for Jerusalem and Palestine, with Barada and the two Ghoutas of Damascus.

The poet Abu Khalid, in his poem “Gaza Hanging over the Walls of Jerusalem,” expressed a determination to struggle and fight for liberation and victory.

Abu Khaled, through his poem “Modern Tunes on the Suffering of Al-Maari”, preserved his approach of connecting the past with the present, insisting and determining to defeat the invaders, as well as in his poem “Another detail of the board of ascent to Iraq”, in which the martyrs are sanctified so that his poetic history remains full of struggle.

It is noteworthy that the poet Khaled Abu Khaled is a Palestinian poet, plastic artist and fighter whose real name is Khaled Muhammad Saleh Ahmed. He was born in 1937 and died at the end of last year. He wrote a lot of poetic literature whose main focus was struggle and resistance.
