Arweqa Foundation for Studies, Translation, and Publishing in Cairo has released a new book titled Guide to the Luminaries of Yemeni Art and Literature by the renowned Yemeni writer Mustafa Rajeh.
This publication marks a new beginning in Rajeh's literary journey, delving into the realms of Yemeni arts and literature and offering a rich exploration that touches the roots of the country's cultural identity. The book features a remarkable collection of works that illuminate contemporary Yemeni history, highlighting prominent figures such as Ahmed Qasim Damaj, Omar Al-Jawi, and Mohammed Ali Al-Rabadi, among others.
Additionally, the book includes a first chapter dedicated to philosophical writings related to literature, reading, and poetry, further enriching the themes discussed. The text predominantly focuses on Yemeni artists, showcasing their contributions and influence on the cultural landscape of Yemen.
In a post on his Facebook page, Rajeh revealed a new project centered on Al-Homini poetry, which is set to be published at the beginning of 2026.
While Mustafa Rajeh is well-known for his political writings, he has recently shifted the focus of his creativity toward literature and the arts. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of Yemeni culture and heritage, Rajeh skillfully employs cultural symbols in his works, presenting readers with literary texts that blend depth and beauty.
