"Before closing the doors", the new poetry collection by Nabil Abou Dargham

Published by Arab Scientific Publishers, this poetic work is set to be the author's last French-language book, hence the title.

Nabil Abou Dargham is a former international civil servant. He headed the United Nations Information Centre in Beirut (UNIC) during the delicate circumstances that saw the release of Western hostages in the late 1980s under the mediation of the international organisation, before being transferred to the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (Escwa). He is a graduate of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, and is the son of the founder of the Lebanese Commandos/former Chief of Staff, General Mahmoud Tay Abou Dargham. In October 2018, he was a candidate for a ministerial position, which he did not obtain.
