Anas Ibrahim Al-Daghim, a Syrian poet and writer from the Maarat al-Numan region, grew up in his homeland before leaving due to the onset of the Syrian war. Since 2015, he has resided in Turkey. Initially pursuing civil engineering at Damascus University, Anas later shifted his focus to pharmacy, studying at Philadelphia University in Jordan. He published his debut poetry collection in 2002 and began writing poetry during high school. His works have been featured on various Arab websites, and he actively participates in cultural festivals and forums. Additionally, he serves as a member of jury committees for Arab poetry competitions.

When his soul left his body and this world, he left a house for poetry, a place for his things, and walls where the poetry he loved would remain. The Bahraini poet Ibrahim Al Arrayed, and all those who (followed) him in his literary journey and translated works, were retained by the Sheikh Ebrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Centre for Culture and Research in his city which he belonged, Manama. For it was the house of fame, as the first among the homes of cultural centers outside the city of Muharraq.
