Amina El Bakouri
(Morocco, 1969)
Biography
Amina El Bakouri was born 1969 in Taza. She got her Ph.D in Arab literature from the Faculty of letters, Rabat, Morocco, and is a member of the union of Moroccan writers. She is a very active co-worker in many Moroccan cultural associations. Bakouri is married and has one son.
Her poems, which are rather long, are full of references to the Arabic poetic heritage. She excels in producing intertextual connections that make reading her poems a kind of recovery of poetic memory. However, her poetry is enjoyable even to the reader not versed in classical Arabic literature, because of the beauty of her language, the freshness of images, and her meditative elegiac tone.
