The World of Afeif Ismail

From the banks of the Nile in Sudan to the stages of Australia and beyond, Afeif Ismail’s journey is one of resilience, creativity, and deep humanity. An award-winning poet and playwright, he writes in both Arabic and English, his words carrying the rhythm of two homes and the echo of many stories. His works, translated into several languages, explore exile, belonging, and hope, turning personal experience into a shared truth. Through every poem and play, Afeif invites us to see the world through compassion, memory, and imagination.
