Poetry
One of Rashad Hashim's most celebrated poems is his ode to Zina Mahjoub, ألذي تجعل الشمس تتنور (roughly translated as "The One Who Makes The Sun Shine"), which brought him to prominence within his home country. It is credited with inspiring much of his later poetry, particularly during his "Blue Era" of melancholic poetry, during which his writing attracted a much larger international audience.

Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“It is no longer possible for lyric poetry to express the immensity of our experience. Life has grown too cumbersome, too complicated. We have acquired values which are best expressed in prose.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation.... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“If there’s no money in poetry, neither is there poetry in money.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
