Confessions of Blood-Wanted Ahmad Hichem Karoui

The Confessions of Blood-wanted Ahmad is the second in a series of poems, originally written in Arabic in the second part of the XXth century, by a mysterious author who has appeared for the first time on the literary scene, in Beirut (Lebanon), under the pseudonym: Buraq. Hence, the title he gave himself to this collection: "Buraq Writes The Galaxy's Dream." We know little about the poet, except that he lived in several countries of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Far East... Buraq may still be writing poetry or prose. But he does not wish to be identified or recognized... A complete description of his life and works will follow the publication of this collection, to which we gave the Subtitle: Diwan of Visions and Recesses (1). A volume has been already published in this bilingual collection under the title: Shaman Show. The next will be (N.3), until all the texts have been published. The translator and eventual biographer, Dr. Hichem Karoui, is actually in charge of all the texts in this collection, and of anything legally related to them. All the texts of this collection are presented as a bilingual English-Arabic edition.
