Hyam Yared est une poète et romancière née à Beyrouth en 1975. Son premier roman, L’Armoire des ombres (éditions Wespieser), paru en 2006 (Prix France-Liban 2007), abordait le poids des traditions et les faux-semblants de la société libanaise, au-delà de l’apparence trompeuse de la femme libanaise « libérée ». Son deuxième roman Sous la tonnelle paru chez le même éditeur en octobre 2009 (prix Phoenix 2009 et Richelieu de la francophonie 2011) aborde les questions des rapports hommes-femmes dans un pays marqué à vif par la guerre civile, thématiques qui lui sont chères et qu’elle reprend dans ses recueils poétiques Blessures de l’eau (Dar an nahar) et naitre si mourir (L’idée bleue) qui sont une réflexion sur les enjeux du rapport hommes-femmes et l’incidence du refoulé sur la scène sociétale et politique. Son dernier recueil Esthétique de la prédation, présenté au salon du livre de Beyrouth 2011 dans le cadre de l’installation artistique de la plasticienne Amal Saadé, se penche sur la question de la quête des libertés individuelles au sein des révolutions arabes. Son travail romanesque a bénéficié de la Bourse del Duca 2007 décernée par l’Académie française. Sélectionnée par le Hay Festival of littérature dans le cadre de Beirut 39, Hyam Yared fait partie de la nouvelle génération d’auteurs arabes francophones et participe aux chroniques de l’émission La grande Table, sur France Culture.
