Irbid – In a distinguished literary evening held at the Irbid Cultural Center, Dr. Mohammad Khaled Al-Boqai — known as the “Body Engineer” and Chairman of the Al-Boqai World for Natural Therapy — sponsored the official launch of the poetry collection “Marafe’ Al-Qaseed” (Harbors of Verse) by the poet and academic Dr. Sameer Qudeisat, the poetic twin of Al-Boqai World. The event drew the attendance of several dignitaries, public figures, renowned poets, intellectuals, and members of the local community from across Irbid Governorate.
