Following a battle with illness, 75-year-old Saudi poet Prince Badr Bin Abdul Mohsen passed away.
In a tweet through his “X” platform account, Counsellor Turki Al-Sheikh, the head of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, expressed his sorrow over Prince Badr Bin Abdul Mohsen’s passing. He wrote: “May God have mercy on the poet, His Royal Highness Prince Badr Bin Abdul Mohsen, and forgive him and grant him a spacious paradise.” I’m sending my sympathies to his children and his honorable family.
Well-known in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world of culture, Badr worked hard to produce literary works of the highest calibre that blend social and political reality, pride, lamentation, and poetry.
In 2019, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, gave him the King Abdulaziz award. He is Prince Abdul Mohsen Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud’s second son.
The poet passed away in 2010. Among the poems in the anthology are the following notable ones: “What the Bird Inscribes on the Date of the Plum” (1989), “A Message from a Bedouin” (1990), “A Painting Maybe a Poem” (1996), and “Flash” (2010).
