Editorial
On the Occasion of the 40th Issue of Pen Circle
(1998-2017)
After 40 issues spanning over an academic period of 19 years
(from 1998 to 2017), we have the right to ask the following
question: has Pen Circle come to full circle?
On this occasion we are very much satisfied for we have
been able to endow our Department with a small circle for
creative writings, a springboard for the burgeoning talents and
geniuses, and a forum for creative dialogue.
On this occasion we remember with delight how Pen
Circle was first launched as a humble project intended to give the
opportunity for each student to write in different fields of English
literature and culture and to experiment in all sorts of creative
writing. A further impetus has been the regular organizing of
Pen Circle Prize for Mellali Writers in English. The
importance of this endeavor increased with the online hosting of
this journal, thus giving to the winners of this prize the golden
opportunity to be read and known by the global community.
On this occasion we gratefully acknowledge the great
support of the members of the Editorial Board. The whole
enterprise could not have been possible without the kind help of
these colleagues who spared no effort in this regard. The
encouragements we received from other colleagues all over the
country have also played a greater role in giving a boost to the
Journals continuity, especially in tight conditions.
On this occasion Pen Circle has now to reconsider its
editorial line, both at the levels of rubrics and content and at the
levels of layout and form It is up to other colleagues and
students to take the lead and endow Mellali academia with a
Journal that would be capable of meeting the rising demands of
the new digital environment.
And on this occasion of the 40th issue of Pen Circle call it
a full circle!

The Poets Corner

This corner is devoted both to prominent figures in poetry and to ambitious students who
dare to embark on the process of creative writing. Students attempts should be sent by
email or presented in legible handwriting, and submitted to a member of Pen Circle
Editorial Board.

Remember Me
I wish I can re-colour their faces
I wish I can re-name them,
I wish I can re-dress their little bodies,
If this would give them more time.
Just for my colour, you kill me?
For my name?
Or, my dress?
I've gone, and you are still here.
I met the angels who asked me:
Is there guilt?
They know the answer.
But, one day,
You will also go.
Don't you know that we will all go?
Ten, twenty, maybe fifty?
You will live after me, and retire, and grow old, and forget me
But dear killer you will remember.
I will ask you to remember.
My face, little age, and small hands
Will ask you to remember.
And ask:
You didn't allow my hands to grow,
You left my chair in the school empty,
You made me just a sad memory to my beloved,
You
Will remember.
Will you?
When your hands become too weak to carry a repentance Book,
Or when you become a headline in a newspaper
/
Pen Circle n 40 -4-
With black strip next to your name,
You and the world will no longer remember your triumph.
What remains my killer is me,
Only me.
Remember me.

Ayman Abu-Shomar is assistant professor of English Literature and Cultural Studies,

Speaks, whose main fulcrum is to depict the voice of the voiceless, the oppressed and
the marginalized in this world.

Some Poetic Lines as Questions
by Pablo Neruda
Do you know that in Patagonia
at midday, mist is green?
Who sings in the deepest water
in the abandoned lagoon?
At what does watermelon laugh
when its murdered?
Isnt it better never than late?
Where is the centre of the sea?
Why do waves never go there?
Why dont the poor understand
as soon as they stop being poor?
Where can you find a bell
that will ring in your dreams?
Who wakes up the sun when it falls asleep
on its burning bed?
Is it true that sadness is thick
and melancholy thin?
Selected from: Pablo Neruda, Libro de las preguntas. (The Book of Questions.) Trans.
by William O'Daly. (1974) Washington: Copper Canyon Press, 1991.

The Poets Corner

Darkness, I fear
Ive never said that, Mum, but Darkness I fear.
You see, dont send me far.
If I ever bother you
Get me punished by you.
You remember the shouts of grown-ups in your face
As a helpless child like a dace
Methinks you my beloved will never realize it.
Malaise in a cruel world is no bit.
In a primary school seat
You are beaten for no reason.
When they blame you for a learning treason
To cover their bloody failure, in their structured prison.
Darkness I fear in our countrys intellectual roar
Blind we turn when Darkness be thicker.

You Will Never Know

You will never know how fathers soar
Until your wife is due
You will never know how dreadful joy
When mingled with vow
You will never know how
Cows milk for inner dirt
Or how borders kill
A cultural bond

Pen Circle Prize for Mellali Writers in English

List of Awardees
(2016/2017)
This year we have received more than 25 attempts, a fact which
reflects students interest in this competition and their desire to express
themselves in creative writing. It was difficult to choose the best among the
attempts we have received. They are all interesting, in fact, and each in its
own way makes the difference but some choice had to be made. The
number of winners this year is four: 1 from Semester Three and 2 from
Semester Five (Literary & Cultural Studies option). So the four winners
of Pen Circle Prize for the current academic year 2016/2017 are:
- Mohamed NEJJAR, Semester 3, for his poem Slave of a Kind (p. 07
on this issue)
- Youssef BENDADEZE, Semester 5, for his poem My Pen My
Weapon (pp. 07-08)
- Ayoub FAHMI, Semester 5, for his short story A Walk by the Lake
(p. 09)
- Yassine DEAI, Semester 5, for his short essay A Letter to Time (p.
16)
As usual, and for creative reasons, we have reprinted the contributions as
they were submitted (except for some slight corrections).
Congratulation, winners!

Pen Circle Prize Winners

Slave of a Kind
All of a sudden,
The Idol shows up.
Stand tall moron!
Loyal subjects are here, there and everywhere,
Eager and excited to hear more,
Unprecedented, I am not a moron.
With shock, the Idol loses control.
How dare you open your mouth?
Shouts angrily, subjects!
Hastily, the loyal subjects surround their irritated Idol!
Strip the scum of light!
Unexpected, I am not a scum.
Alone in the dark, the moron crosses out day after day.
Longingly, the scum is waiting to be released.
Determined, he decides, finally, to embrace freedom.
The big day comes,
So does the oppressor Idol.
With a derisive laughter, you are forever my slave.
Shouts angrily, subjects
Alone in the dark

My Pen My Weapon
My pen, My weapon
Filled of blood,
Guided by God,
Made of words,
Stronger and bladed
Than swords...
Stocked of tears
That were once fears,
Pen Circle n 40 -8-
Filled of faith,
Fears not death,
Says only truth,
And chooses death
Lest to kneel down
Toward wicked feet.
My pen, My weapon
Drawing words
Freely flying as birds,
Crossing all borders,
Breaking all chains,
Whatever chains,
Minds, and all Bars...
Everywhere... it fares.
In all battles... it makes marvels.
Free from man's control,
Obeys only God's rule.
It is a dreamer to every poor,
Faithful to every hand, mind and heart,
Patient to pain.
It has never been praised.
It has never betrayed.
It believes in no fool,
Having one goal,
Making itself eternel.
My pen, My weapon
Day and night it fights,
Courageous with no fright;
Words (of oppression...) he hates
In the world of darkness, carrying the torch of light
Like Diogenes, looking for the honest,
Till blood is over and it faints...

A Walk by the Lake
It was spring, the flowers were blooming and the sun was
shining. I was taken so far into a dandy land. The wind was a
roughly sweet breeze. It was that cool cheery morning, the first day
of spring. I took my first step into a luminous lake close to my
house. Everything was welded in a perfect way. I saw how birds
were chirping upon the trees. I saw bright butterflies flying among
red flowers. The air, the air was just a fresh marvelous waft that
surrounded my venue.
The lake was as sliver as a glowing diamond and the
atmosphere was quite serene. Astonished by the purity of the place,
I arrived down to the lake peacefully. The rising of the sun caused
a division of armed flies to flock into the air. The scene took my
breath away .The only sounds I heard were the bumbling of bees
and the cracking of the trees.
Out on the lake, the thorns that were picking my leg broke my
line of thought. There were salmon fish slapping on the surface. I
found myself in a glorious lake .knee-deep in blue waters and
beautiful plants. The heaven- leaking light appended a golden touch
on the face of the lake as if it was paradise. I remember the sweet
smell of the grass; I remember the pleasure of that day. Most of all,
I remember how it felt to be a kid on that special day.
I felt that I was drowning; my feet went deeper and deeper. It
felt so great to have that moment of Clarity. I lost my sight and
mind in the amazement of the scene. A peculiar feeling of love and
tranquility came over me. A walk by the lake

Europe in Moroccan Travel Accounts:

Historical Overview and Themes
Lahoucine AAMMARI, PhD researcher
Faculty of Letters and Humanities, Beni Mellal
There are many travellers-cum-envoys who travelled to Europe in different
periods of time starting from the seventh century till the outset of the twentieth
century. Muslim traders, ambassadors and petitioners from North Africa venture
to London - to visit and negotiate the furtherance of commercial and diplomatic
ties. Sometimes few in number, at other times consisting of fifteen to twenty men
(no women, except for slaves), from the beginning of the seventeenth century,
North African delegations visited and wrote about Spain, France, Holland, Italy,
England, and Malta. They went to negotiate commercial and peace treaties,
ransom captives, and/or demand compensation for losses incurred at sea.
Muslim contacts with the Europeans in different periods of time starting from
the second half of the 16th century, their contribution to culture and civilization
as well as their historical legacies. The main challenges that face Muslims in
Europe: identity formation or fashioning, integration and Islamophobia, but
today there is a widespread fear among most Europeans that Muslims and
migrants are the source of a potential Eurabization, Islamification and other
problems related to identity. These travellers show in very detailed manners the
transcultural encounter between Europeans and the Arabs, epitomized by these
travellers and envoys, who visited Europe during different periods of time.
Most of the studies about travel literature have coped with the journey of
European travellers to the Orient/ Islamic countries or Dar al-Islam or abode of
Islam, and there are meagre studies about the travellers who make the journey
from the abode of Islam/ dar el Islam to the abode of disbelief/ dar al-Kufr.
As far as Morocco is concerned, there are a myriad of travellers, envoys,
merchants, ambassadors and clergymen who sojourned to the land of the
Christians and recorded what they encountered and saw by writing tomes after
tomes. These travellers differ a great deal from their European counterparts. The
latter travel to Morocco with different missions in mind, we can find among
them the soldier, the spy, the adventurer, the buccaneer, the journalist, the
diplomatist and so on, and most of their accounts are practically freighted with
biases and subjective impressions. In Nabil Matars take,
The travelers wrote informative accounts that stand in contrast to many of
the European descriptions of the Muslim world in the same period.
Travelers from Europe to North Africa and the Levant, whether they came
from countries with an extensive medieval history of contact [] or
countries of Renaissance interactionoften carried with them ideological
and polemical baggage that burdened their accounts. They claimed to see
what they never encountered, and interpreted authoritatively to their
Pen Circle n 40 - 11 -
readers what they never understood [.] Some travelers went to the
regions of the Mediterranean Christianity and Islam with a sense of
superiority and denounced all that was Muhametan and oriental. (xxxi)
The Moroccan travellers, on the other hand, made their journeys as the envoys
of the Sultan, or their mission is very determined by the Emperor of Morocco.
Their accounts report in detail and in most objective manner what they
encountered there during their mission. They did not make up information as
their European counterparts did, but they did report what they saw with precision
as they wrote to governments and Sultans. They went on a journey to fulfill
certain missions: religious, diplomatic or commercial. Indeed, most of the
envoys went either to ransom the captives or to negotiate for certain political
issues between the Cheerifian Empire and the European countries.
Moroccan travellers differ a great deal from the European ones, for these
Moroccan envoys are erudite and they have encyclopedic knowledge, so to
speak, because they are carefully chosen by the Sultan; they are knowledgeable,
in politics, religion and culture and in other domains. To exemplify, when
Ahmed bin Qsim was in a mission to the Dutch land (1611), a Dutchman said to
him, we are amazed at you: you know languages, read books, and have travelled
in the cities and the countries of the world. And yet, you are a Muslim! (Qtd in
Nabil Matars In the Lands of the Christians xiii). When we read these travel
accounts, we discover that as the title of the accounts openly reveal there was
religious difference, and they always denounced what they saw in the land of the
Christians as irreligious, sacrilegious and non-Islamic.
Travellers, envoys, ambassadors, traders, and clerics were very curious and
eager to pose some questions about the land of the Christians and to record what
they saw in their accounts. Of all the early modern North African ambassadors
and envoys who went on missions to Western Europe, only very few written
accounts have survived:
a- Ahmed bin Qsim Al-Hajari: Nasir al-Din ala al-Qawm al-Kafirin (The
Protector of religion against the Unbelievers), 1611- 1613.
b- Muhammad ibn Abd al- Wahb al- Ghassn: Rihlat al-Wazr f iftikk al-
Asr (The Journey of the Minister to Ransom the Captive), (16901691)
c- Ahmad ibn Mahd al- Ghazl: Natjat al-Ijtihdfi al-Mohadana wa al-
Jihad, (1767).
d- Mohammed ibn Uthmn al-Mikns: Al-Badr al-sfir li-hidyat al-
musfir ila fikk al-asr min yad al-aduww al-kfir (17791780).

An Arab Cordba Hospital in the 10th Century

This is the translation of a young Frenchmans letter from an Arab Cordba

Hospital in the 10th Century
You have mentioned in your previous letter that you would send me some money to
make use of it in my medicines costs. I say, I dont need it at all as treatment in this
Islamic hospital is for free. Also there is something else concerning this hospital. This
hospital gives a new suit and five dinars to every patient who has already got well lest
he should find himself obliged to work in the period of rest and recuperation.
Dear father, if youd like to visit me, you will find me in the surgery department and
joints treatment. When you enter the main gate, go to the south hall where you will
find the department of first aid and the department of disease diagnosis then you will
find the department of arthritis (joint diseases). Next to my room, you will find a
library and a hall where doctors meet together to listen to the lectures given by
professors; also this hall is used for reading. The gynaecology department lies on the
other side of the hospital court. Men are not allowed to enter it. On the right of the
hospital court lies a large hall for those who recovered. In this place they spend the
period of rest and convalescence for some days. This hall contains a special library
and some musical instruments.
Dear father, any place in this hospital is extremely clean; beds and pillows are
covered with fine Damascus white cloth. As to bedcovers, they are made of gentle soft
plush. All the rooms in this hospital are supplied with clean water. This water is
carried to the rooms through pipes that are connected to a wide water fountain; not
only that, but also every room is equipped with a heating stove. As to food, chicken
and vegetables are always served to the extent that some patients do not want to leave
the hospital because of their love and desire of this tasty food. (Ameer Gafar Al-
Arshdy, The Islamic Scientific Supremacy. Beirut, Al-Resala Establishment, 1990.)

Mohamed Louza. Toni Morrison and Childhood. The of the
Unspoken. Germany: Noor Publishing, 2017, 124 p.

Toni Morrison and Childhood provides a critical analysis of how

dyadic processes of racialization and gendering function in US society
as portrayed in the Morrisonian early fiction. The Bluest Eye, Sula and
Recitatif interrogate the readers preconceived ideas about African
American fiction and identity. They depict the traumatic results of
racial and sexist processes on African American children. Morrisons
texts critique and aspire to deracinate racialized poignant Othering of
children in America. And this book unveils different ramifications of
the interplay between blackness and whiteness throughout exploring
issues of trauma, scapegoating and psychological spaces that shape
female childrens identities.

Accounts. Germany: Lambert Academic Publishing (LAP), 2017, 264

Book Summary
The Image of Morocco in British Travel Accounts brings some British
travellers and their accounts into sharper focus. These Travellers made
their peregrinations in Western Barbary as a toponym in the era of
imperial ebullience in the late nineteenth century and the outset of the
twentieth. These travellers bolster the empire, its grandiloquence and its
complex discursive paraphernalia. These travellers regard European
civilisation as standing at the centre of universe while darkness,
barbarism and primitivism sprawled on the periphery, pitting hence the
centre against the periphery. Their narratives enact a form of imperial
structure and hegemony through narrators omniscience and
omnipresence in the narrative. Expressing their Orientalist desire to
know Moroccans as Others, these British travellers claim an
epistemological mastery and narrative omniscience and invasion over
the field of their observation, which in turn grants them the power and
Pen Circle n 40 - 16 -
the authority to portray the Other. Still, these travellers are caught
between a narrative mastery and a fantasy of Western Barbary where
their different desires can be substantiated and an image of Moroccan
society as an unattainable, concealed domain of inaccessibility and total
invisibility. These paradoxical standpoints disclose certain discursive
heterogeneities, inconsistencies and slippages of colonial authority.
These tomes raised certain issues which have become strikingly
relevant to our time. The points they expressed in these travelogues
regarding Moroccan religious and cultural practices are ineradicably
seated in the minds of a lot of British and other European peoples, and
these mindsets have been imparted from one generation to another up
till the present time.

A Letter to Time
Dear Time,
I'm addressing to you this unusual letter. It contains a bunch
of words and expressions mixed with my opinions and feelings
towards you, hoping that one i will get answers that could fill in the
blanks in my understanding of you; answers with which i can
finally understand how you work, and why you work the way you
do. Einstein almost got it when he said (and i quote): ''Time is an
illusion''. I couldn't agree more considering the fantastic journey he
had with you during his life time, trying to understand you. He
even took our understanding of you as normal people to a whole
new level, especially when he explained that there is a possibility
of traveling to the future or the past (pending on our choice). But i
don't see if that is going to happen, because so far i havent met
Pen Circle n 40 - 17 -

anyone from the future to tell me that he actually made the trip
from the future to the present time. Before i heard all about
Einstein and his theories, my vision towards you was nothing more
of the clock in our living room.
Enough with the heavy talk of science. Anyway, i might be a
regular young man from the Atlas Mountains, but still i have the
right to demand answers. Why do you work the way you do? How
come you're passing by quickly during times of joy and happy
occasions? I mean, ask a worker about his weekend, ask a bride
about her special wedding day, or just ask an old man about his
twenties, and i bet you will get the same answer: ''It passed in the
blink of an eye''. On the other side, and by that i mean during times
of misery and pain, we find that you and turtles actually have
certain things in common: which are slowness and sluggishness.
On this point, we don't have to ask a prisoner about his opinion
about you, and how long is a day inside a prison because we all
know that feeling considering how much we hate to wait. You
might consider my questions rhetorical ones, but be sure that i will
wait for answers.
My dearest Time! You stole things from me, and for that i can't
stand you sometimes. You have taken memories i like, people i
love ..., there isn't a day you go by without taking something from
me, no matter how big or small it is.
To finish my letter, as to be objective towards you, i must not
ignore the things you gave me. From the lessons i learned from my
mistakes to the experience i took from the life i'm living, it is the
side of you that makes me go on and for that i'm thankful. In the
new chapter of my life, every day counts, every hour matters, every
minutes makes the difference, and every second is a gift. After all
we are all just borrowing from you.
Thank you for the days you have given me, and thank you for those
to come.
Your student Yassine !
