Wartime experiences , particularly his outrage at the Sétif massacre of May 1945 , also inspired Aba to commit to writing more poetry . His work is primarily focused on themes relating to politics and the impact of violence on humans , covering topics such as the Algerian revolution , the Arab – Israeli conflict and Nazi Germany . The themes of his work led the scholar Jean Déjeux to compare him to Mohammed Dib . Aba 's more well-known collections include '' Gazelle au petit matin '' ( '' Gazelle in the Early Morning '' , 1978 ) and '' Gazelle après minuit '' ( '' Gazelle after Midnight '' , 1979 ) , which take the form of a series of love poems inspired by the deaths of a young couple at the point of the country becoming independent from France
