Abdellatif Laâbi was born in 1942 in Fes, Morocco. Laâbi, then teaching French, founded with other poets the artistic journal "Anfas/Souffles", an important literary review in 1966. It was considered as a meeting point of some poets who felt the emergency of a poetic stand and revival, but which, very quickly, crystallized all Moroccan creative energies: painters, film-makers, men of theatre, researchers and thinkers.
