As a child, Talal Salem Al Sabiri, now a 40-year old poet from the emirate of Sharjah, used to go to the sea with his father for diving and fishing trips. Those moments still inspire him today. His beginnings as a poet started with music, playing oud with his brothers, and later playing with words and rhythms. In this episode, Talal speaks about Arabic and Gulf poetry, about morning inspiration, level of consciousness, about Sharjah, his father, and how a trip to Nigeria changed the perspective.
