About Adonis

Ali Ahmad Said Esber known to readers as Adonis was born in a rural village in Syria in 1930. He graduated with a degree in philosophy from the Damascus University and went on to earn a doctoral degree in Arabic literature from St. Joseph University in Beirut. Adonis has written more than fifty books of poetry criticism essays and translation in his native Arabic. He is recognised as one of the most important poets and theorists of literature in the Arab world and one of the most important contemporary poets and thinkers in any language or context. His influence on Arabic poetry can be compared with that of Pound or Eliot on poetry in English combined however with a radical and secular critique of his society. Adonis's many awards include the International Poetry Forum Award (Pittsburgh 1971) National Poetry Prize (Lebanon 1974) Grand Prix des Biennales Internationales de la Poesie (Belgium 1986) Prix de Poesie Jean Malrieu Etranger (France 1991) Prix de la Mediterranee (France 1994) Nazim Hikmet Prize (Turkey 1994) Lerici-Pea Prize (Italy 2000) Oweiss Cultural Prize (UAE 2004) BjOrnson Prize (Norway 2007) Zhong Kun International Poetry Prize (China 2009) and Goethe Literature Prize (Germany 2011). In 1997 the French government named him Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
