زيتون الشوارع

Ibrahim Nasrallah was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1954 to Palestinian parents, who were expelled from their land (the village of Al-Bureij, 28 km west of Jerusalem) in 1948. He studied in UNRWA schools in Al-Wihdat camp, and completed his studies at the Amman Training Center for Teacher Training. He left for Saudi Arabia, where he worked as a teacher for two years, 1976-1978. He worked in the Jordanian press from 1978-1996. He worked in the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation - Darat al Funun - as a cultural advisor to the Foundation, and director of literary activities in it from 1996 to 2006. After that, he devoted himself to writing. Nasrallah's poetic experience has witnessed many transformations, as his first three collections form what looks like a single unit, in terms of the length of the poem, although his third collection (Morning Songs) witnessed a shift in the focus of his poems on humanity more and more, and his celebration of things and details seemed high, as in His poems are windows, stairs, departure and love poems, which occupied the largest part of the court, as well as the presence of the prose poem in it in a remarkable way. The publication of his poetic work (Numan recovers his color) was an important point in his career, as the composite biographical poem that makes up the whole work was present. From its issuance, it was banned again in Jordan, and the poet was transferred because of it to the court, but a broad solidarity campaign prevented the case from proceeding.
