Prof. Muhammad Bennis (PhD, Modern Arabic Poetry, Mohammad V University, Rabat) is a Moroccan poet and one of the leading proponents of poetic modernism in the Arab world today. Born in Fez, Morocco in 1948, he has taught since 1980 at Muhammad V University in Rabat. He has published many poetry collections and critical works in Arabic and literary translations from French (Mallarmé, Georges Bataille) into Arabic. His stature as a major contemporary Arab poet has been widely recognized in the Arab world and throughout the globe.
Collections and selections of his poetry have been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese and many other languages. His poetry has also earned him recognition in the form of many national and international awards, among them: The Moroccan Book Award for his collection The Gift of the Void (1993); Atlas Prize for the French translation of his collection, River between Two Funerals (2000); Chevalier des arts et des lettres, France (2003); Calopezzati Prize for Mediterranean Literature, Italy (2006); Ferronia Prize for International Literature, Italy (2007), al-Owais Prize for Poetry, Dubai, UAE (2007); Maghrebi Culture Prize, Morocco (2010); and, most recently, in March 2011 he traveled to Florence, Italy, to accept the 55th Premio Letterario Internazionale Ceppo Pistoia award for international literature, from L’Accademia Pistoiese del Ceppo. One of the foremost contemporary voices in Arab literary and cultural criticism, he is the author, for example, of the 4-volume Modern Arabic Poetry: Structures and Mutations (1989-91), Writing Erasure (1994), and Modernity Destroyed (2004).
