Jordanian Narrative is Reflected in an Evening of Nabati Poetry

In a cultural celebration that evoked the authenticity of Jordanian heritage and the richness of the folkloric legacy, the Jordanian Writers and Authors Union, in coordination with its cultural committees and in cooperation with the Arab House Cultural Forum, organized a Nabati poetry evening at the Forum's headquarters, with the presence of a gathering of intellectuals, writers, and lovers of Nabati poetry.

The evening came as an affirmation of the presence of Nabati poetry as one of the components of the cultural identity and Jordanian heritage, with what it carries of the values of authenticity, chivalry, and loyalty, and what it represents as a space for preserving the popular memory and expressing the national sentiment.

The evening was moderated by the media personality Hager Shaheen, who presented her segments in a solid dialogue style, moving smoothly between the participants, while a number of poets and poetesses participated in it, who presented samples of Nabati poetry linked to the national and social heritage.

Poet Aliyan Al-Adwan, President of the Jordanian Writers and Authors Union, presented a group of Nabati poems that evoked words of pride in the homeland and the Hashemite leadership, loyalty to the Jordanian land alongside images of the heritage linked to moments of pride and dignity in the national memory.

Poetess Majida Kalib presented poems of an emotional nature, dominated by poetic images and the expression of feelings, while poet Saleh Al-Jaafra presented national and prideful poems inspired by the heritage of the Jordanian Badia and its authenticity.

At the end of the evening, the Arab House Cultural Forum and the Jordanian Writers and Authors Union honored the participants: Al-Adwan, Al-Jaafra, Kalib, and Shaheen, in appreciation of their participation and their role in the success of the event.

The evening emphasized the importance of Nabati poetry in preserving the Jordanian popular memory as a form of oral expression that has been passed down through generations, and carried in its texts images of history, heritage, and social and national values, thereby enhancing the presence of cultural heritage in the collective consciousness and supporting efforts to preserve and transmit it to future generations.
