"Amal Abu Assi"... the story of a talent in poetry since childhood
I remember a day when I was not a poet, as if I had learned poetry since I was in my mother’s womb, and perhaps I wrote poems there that I would meet one day. With these words, the poet Amal Abu Assi (37 years old), a graduate of the Arabic Language Department and then a master’s degree, opened her speech.
Amal Abu Assi was born, lived and will die, but she made an impact for herself from her birth until this moment. She is a mother of four children and works in linguistic proofreading, preparing scientific studies, and graduating courses in poetry writing and the art of public speaking.
Abu Assi talks about her beginning, saying: “I started writing at ten years old when I was eight years old. I used to hide what I wrote from everyone, so that it would be my gift to my father when he came out of the occupation prisons.”
Amal says: “My father showed my writing to Dr. Abdul Khaleq Al-Ghaf, who urged me to continue writing, and the university was a great credit to him for refining my pen and enriching my words.”
Amal received many awards, including the Best Poet Award at the Third Belqis International Festival in Algeria, and she represented Palestine on the territory of Algeria, and the Council of Arab Authors, Writers, and Intellectuals Award ranked first in the field of poetry, and the Phoenix Award ranked first in the Arab world as well, and the title of Poet of the Islamic University, And first place in Palestine in the Ministry of Education and Higher Education competition.
Amal says: “As for influence, I believe that the poet must read to everyone, and then write only for himself, so he will have his own writing system, which distinguishes him from any other writer, which is what I like to call (the identity of words).”
Regarding the difficulties that Amal went through in her literary career, she said: “Every path to success must have its thorns hurt us, but the joy and pleasure of reaching it makes us forget all the pain and pain. I keep my troubles to myself, and I dedicate my successes to you.”
She explained that "no one supported me like my father, then my husband, and I will not forget the merit of my professors at the Islamic University, my wonderful readers, and the audience of writers whom I cherish."
Abu Assi continued: She has collections of poetry, and they are the collection Four Chapters of the Fog, the collection The Travel of Time, the novel When the River Runs Bare, and the novel Something from If.
Regarding the topics that Amal addressed in her writings about the homeland, prisoners, freedom, return, love, friendship, orphanhood and homelessness, the poet draws his light from any star he wants in the vast sky, and picks his flower from any garden he wants on the simple earth, and the most beautiful topics that I cherish are those, the ear of division. Dear, it is like saying to the mother, “Choose which of your children is most beloved to you,” and this is difficult for me to do.
Amal publishes her writings on the Facebook platform to publish my articles and poetic and prose texts, even though Facebook deleted my page many times before, and she expressed her opinion of local criticism, stressing that it is very low, as paralysis and institutionalism have prevailed, at the expense of true literature.
Abu Assi concluded her speech by saying that the poetry writer must be a human being first, second, third, and tenth, and in between, he must be a good reader and an influential actor, and that the Gaza Strip has many creative writers who I am confident that if they had had the opportunity to fly outside the country, they would have surprised everyone with their level.
