Biography of Rita El Khoury
Hello, I'm Rita El Khoury. I got not that much to say about my life, I'm lebanese, I have no siblings, I went to Melkart school and I am now a 5th year pharmacy student at USJ (saint Joseph university) in Beirut (medical sciences campus = CSM) .
I started writing french poetry since I was 11, wrote till I was 15 then took my 50 poems and threw them in the garbage. Talk about a crazy girl! ? ! ? I guess I had to get over that period.
I started writing in english when I was 18 & I am leaning more and more towards english poetry, but I have to say I never read any english poems book and I barely read the french poems they used to give us in school... In a word, Not into reading, into writing.
Erm, I wrote one arabic poem, that I published here (unfortunately it's not readable) because one of my friends advised me to (that's you Peet) . But it's a single try, that I'm far from repeating.
Ok, so I'm gonna stop all this useless speech and list my favorite poems, so the ones I advise you to read:
(If you only have to read one poem, I advise
- Shakespeare's lost letter OR Mystical Fight 3, in english
- A Toi OR La survie in french)
- SI...
- L'ADIEU
- LA SURVIE
- A TOI
- HISTOIRE D'UN OISEAU
- J'ACCUSE LES LIBANAIS
- TU SAIS A QUOI TU RESSEMBLES
- LEGENDE DES CIMES
- LA MALMENEE
- AU SEUIL DE LA DEMENCE
- MYSTICAL FIGHT - The trilogy
- FORBIDDEN LOVE
- SHAKESPEARE'S LOST LETTER
- ARE WE STRANGERS NOW
- THAT'S HOW DIES A HEART THAT ACHES
- HOPE'S FUNERAL
And mostly I treasure the ones written to those who touched my life:
- A DREAM TO REVIVE, A PAIN TO KILL (to Joyce)
- MY SISTER, MY FRIEND (To May)
- A L'INNOCENCE (A Amani, Maria & Patricia)
- REMERCIEMENTS AU COLLEGE (A mon collège)
PS: I've added the category of funny poems i wrote, at least the ones i consider funny... They're under the name 'Funny -...'
PPS: I've also added some of my best productions during the 'a poem a day' project. ..
