Arthur Vaso is a Canadian poet, born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. He has had his works published in local papers/magazines as well as on many Web sites. He has traveled extensively around the world, and writes about a wide variety of topics.
I had the pleasure of meeting in person the beautiful human Faten AlHariri, an artist painter running a non-governmental organization that supports Syrian children and youth who live in Jordan by teaching them art. No one should suffer the trauma of war or displacement, but especially not children.
It was wonderful to be able to relax, sit and talk and I only wish we had more time. It was by chance we met because of the Covid19 she was stranded in Canada for some time. With all the bad we hear on the news and internet how refreshing to see there is hope. Heroes I have learned don't wear capes and fly, they simply have hearts and care for others.
The link here will bring you to a poem I wrote in dedication for her, and also you will find a beautiful photo to go with it by none other than Richard Lamoureux. Yes he is not only a poet but an amazing photographer. ( and yes I will take credit for having discovered him LOL )
