Quotes I write from all these realities and for everyone who finds something in my writing, but I try to never write against it. I don’t have any energy to waste on hate or anger. I am trying to find my own way to protest and to add my contribution and my vision to our damaged world. I prefer to put everything I have in sharing the way I see and understand things. I didn’t decide to write in French—it just happened. It’s the language that I deeply felt was the right one for me to translate myself into literature. These languages are natural to me, and there is no conflict in my mind between them. These languages are natural to me, and there is no conflict in my mind between them. If a line I wrote and that Nancy translated can mean something to any person anywhere in the world, I get the feeling that we’ve done something special together. I have three mother tongues: Algerian Arabic, French and Kabyle. I consider myself a citizen of the world, but I am also very rooted in my own country. Translation is a way of opening doors. Poetry is not only about words, it is also about the body, the voice, the space and the other.
