When crystallized experience of poetry, and how?

- Started my poetic variety and different, when I felt my love for the language of poetry in particular, started trying to write at an early stage of my life, perhaps at the age of 15 years, died Baqraouata of the giants of poetry; like Ahmed Shawqi, Hafiz Ibrahim, Ibrahim Naji, Ali Mahmoud Taha , and others.

Then I met later on a school of modern poetry, and the Association of Modern Literature, where I found a gathering morally distinct has new features are the characteristics of modernity, I was encouraged to receive Mustafa Abdel Latif Shrta me in 1959, when I wrote the poem "some time, O Mr. Dallas," and such a boost to me , Vankhrtt with the people of my generation of poets of the sixties in a state of creativity, which approximates the pulse of national, political, social, intellectual and cultural, in that era - where was the voice of Gamal Abdel Nasser, inspiring us, and his penetrating in consciousness - you are affected by the reality revolutionary open and sentimental it.

Why is that the sixties generation you belong to, and how they see the poetic experience for this generation, and its advantages?

- This generation is the one who established the movement of modern poetry, and marked to provide talent prominent, and although the cultural reality was full of names of pioneers, such as Salah Abdel-Sabour and Ahmed Abdel Muti Hijazi, this new generation was able to highlight the features and creates his poems, and reaffirms the vitality of the talent and uniqueness , especially since the sixties was a decade packed with events large on the political level, national, and marked openness of cultural and strong links with centers of translation, and European culture, and there were strong echoes of the literature real and existential, and translations of tremendous innovation theatrical and poetic creativity.

The 1952 revolution that inspired us, and culturally Tkona in shadows, and Chbana Braaha, principles and issues and problems, no doubt that it opened the way for new generations of creators, and provided them with new cultural resources were not present before

What you represented Revolution As a generation of children of the sixties, and what is your experience between the two revolutions (July 52 and 25 January)?

- The 1952 revolution that inspired us, and Tkona culturally in the shadows, and Chbana Braaha, principles and issues and problems, no doubt that it opened the way for new generations of creators, and provided them with sources of new cultural were not present before, and removed many of the barriers and borders between Egyptian culture and the Arab world on the one hand, and between the Egyptian culture and the global ocean on the other hand, it constitutes consciousness in light of this revolution, which was raised the issue of Arab unity and social justice, freedom, independence and human dignity.

All of these values ​​Chbana them, but we also pay attention to all elements of the experience of Nasiriyah in our time, and was breaking big setback in 67, which represented a dramatic shift in the path of political, cultural and creative.

We certainly owe it to the July Revolution in 1952, but we are no longer prisoners or prisoners of this revolution, frees us because we were free to sing in our notice, as the first value in creativity and in life.

July Revolution, of course, vary for the January Uprising, the former was the embodiment of a set of ideas and visions and choices, which is conceived in the forties, and then emerged in the fifties, and blossomed in the sixties, and broke in the mid-sixties. The revolution of January 25 is a protest and a broad and deep grievances we have seen and experienced by the Egyptian people, but this revolution is still in the stage of crystallization, and no ideas of great behind or intellectuals, senior, could inspire creative people, but I personally am optimistic because the first source of creativity is the reality, which is rich and rich and full of all possibilities.

How do you see the reality of poetry now in Egypt, the Egyptian cultural scene in general?

"

Hair in Egypt prosperous and full of a lot of testing, and full of new generations flowing, creativity and new forms and methods

"- Poetry in Egypt prosperous and full of a lot of experiences, full of generations of new flux, in creativity, shapes, and new methods, and I think we are at the beginning stage of lattice glowing, with a large number of talents, and usually the poet project needs time to materialize and be completed, and there are talents in real this generation, and the wonderful diversity in the writing of the poem and the vertical Trochee and prose, though prose poem spread overwhelmingly in the recent period.

But the issue is how to access this creativity to the public and to the reader, whereas the media reluctant or indifferent to this creativity and attention to presenting, this is the problem. Also new generations of young people walk away from the books, sufficient means of modern technology, which Srvathm for communication with the hair movement and cultural creativity.

 On the Arab level, how do you see the challenges facing the cultural scene?

- Of the most important challenges: the rupture, there is no more communication between innovators, because of the disappearance of platforms of national cultural, and the disappearance of major events which brings together poets, there is a break to exist between the wings of the Arab culture now, and there are many questions posed by the culture itself and the Authority, including the relationship of power creativity, freedom of thought, belief, and asked questions strongly now, also the role of the intellectual in this stage, as well as the issue of media that I left completely on culture and focused on political affairs, and this may be logical, but has to be interest in culture, because it is the fortress of the basic ideas which feed and development of nations.
