A number of writers and poets announced, on Wednesday, that their literary works presented at the “Martyr Herakole” exhibition in Qamishlo / Al-Qamishli will be presented to those who wish for free, as a contribution from them to alleviate the burden of the economic crisis on the readers.

Writers and poets are each of the poet “Maya Darwish” from Deir Al-Zour, and the novelist and poet “Jan Papier” and the poet “Roni Ali” from Kobani and the poet “Marwan Faqqi”.

The works of writers and poets, who announced the initiative, were printed in the Ava House for printing, publishing and distribution.

The poet, Maya Darwish, told ASO News Network that she participated in the book exhibition for the first time in her only group, “Third Bank”, and decided to reduce the burdens of buying the group and presenting it to those who wish as a gift to them, free of charge.

The poet pointed out that people are busy securing a living, and we have to be close to the readers and take their hands in these difficult economic circumstances.

The poet Roni Ali participates in his four poetry collections:
– Echo without sound (to Mesh’al Temo)/ Sada bla sout
The ghosts have gone to heaven/ rahil alJin ila al-smaa
-çivîkên baskokirî
-sirûda hestên penaber

As the poet described to ASO News Network, this initiative is “the right of the reader on the writer because the one who works in the field of creativity needs a reader who possesses the aesthetic taste.”
Considering that “the creative field is a financially losing project.”

“The aim of the initiative is to extend the bridge of communication between the reader and the book without placing additional burdens on the economic situation that besieges him for his livelihood,” Rooney added.

The writer and novelist “Jan Papier” participates in two literary products, namely, “Hemen” and the Kurdish poetry book “Peyalên Janê”.

“Jan Papier” explained that after complaints were received from friends about the high prices of books as a result of the deteriorating economic situation in our regions, and that creativity is not a financial project and does not aim for financial gains, we, a group of writers and authors, gifted our works presented in the exhibition to fans of reading for free.

The poet “Merwan Faqqi” participates in his poetry “The Zagro Walls” where the poet “Merwan Faqqi” wrote on his Facebook page “In light of this economic crisis in the region and the poor living conditions of the people, I have the honor to donate all the number available of the poetry book“ Zagro Walls ”in Herakole exhibition free for everyone who wants to own it.

The initiators indicated through their personal pages that the reservation is by communicating with them in person or with Ava House, and the copies will be delivered to those who want them.
