[edit] Biography
Mejjati studied in Damascus and completed his PhD in Arabic literature at the Mohammed V University in Rabat, where he also worked as a professor of Arabic literature.
He won the Ibn Zaydoun Award for poetry in Madrid in 1985, and the Prix du Maroc du livre in 1987.
He died in 1995.
[edit] Work
Mejjati’s poetry is characterized by its emphasis on pure Arabic diction and original syntactic formation. He published poems in magazines, but only one book of poetry:Al Fouroussiya (Chivalry).
The Syrian critic Mohammed Mohi Eddine called Mejjati's poem Assouqout one of the most beautiful poems in the Arabic language.[1]
