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.
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]

gollark: What do you need 10000 iterations *for*?!
gollark: So basically, the random seed will only be usefully set once, in the last iteration of that løøþ of yours, which is kind of horrible for the server by the way.
gollark: The problem is, *all math.randomseed calls before the last one you do have no effect*.
