Description
English: Omar Abu Risheh was born in Aleppo in 1911 and studied at the American University of Beirut (AUB). He obtained his graduate studies in the UK and returned to Aleppo in 1932, establishing himself as a ranking poet. He served briefly as director of the National Library in Aleppo and politically associated himself with the leading anti-French nationalist Abdul Rahman Shahbandar.

In 1959-1961, he became Ambassador of the United Arab Republic in Austria, and in 1961, President Nazem al-Qudsi appointed him as Syria’s Ambassador to the US under John F. Kennedy.
