Anwar Al Attar (1913-1972) was a Syrian romance and nature poet born in Damascus. His talents were observed at an early age, gaining him fame in Arab literary circles as the “Syrian Youth Poet.” His love of poetry enabled him to memorize thousands of verses by the most famous poets in both his time and in Arab literary history. Although Al Attar only lived to the age of 59, he left behind a wealth of poetic contributions to Syrian heritage.
