The evening began with an introduction by Wissam Shia, who expressed his gratitude to His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, saying: "Thank you to the one who opened the doors wide, allowing the light of culture, poetry, and creativity to shine from Sharjah. Thanks to His Highness’s continued support and limitless generosity. My gratitude also extends to the Department of Culture, which has supported this unique cultural renaissance and formed its backbone, making Sharjah a destination for the world, and to the House of Poetry, which has become a beacon that attracts creative minds from every corner, shining brightly through its tireless efforts and endless contributions, led by Mohammed Al Buraiki. And thank you to everyone who has helped bring to life the most precious gift God has granted His creation – the word."
The poets then shared a series of moving poetry readings, and at the conclusion of the evening, Al Buraiki honoured the poets and the event’s host.
For an optimal experience, please
