Dear all,
Every soul in the Saddouq family thanks you Mr. Bowden for your brief bio. of my father Radi Saddouk. He lived and died a Poet. He wouldn't have it any other way. People like you Mr. Bowden keep all poets alive. Those few lines you've written summarized decades of poetry, literature, journalism and more. Again thank you and God bless you.
