Sofía Karámpali Farhat

Born in South Lebanon in 1994 to a Greek-Lebanese family, Sofía Karámpali Farhat spent the first eighteen years of her life in Lebanon before moving to Paris. She writes mainly in French, her adopted language, in order to use poetry to tackle subjects such as war, exile, resistance and queer eroticism. She is also a geopolitical researcher specialising in the Middle East, translates novels and poetry from Arabic into French, and is developing a multidisciplinary artistic activity. Zaatar is her first collection, published by Bruno Doucey on 3 February 2023.
