Riassunto

Dusting the Colour from Roses is a bilingual (Arabic/English) collection of poems by one of the Arabian Gulf's major literary figures. Ghazi Algosaibi's themes are universal ­ love, death, the passage of time and the passing of the seasons. The voice in his poems, while unmistakably his own, draws on a wealth of traditions including the classical, the chivalric, the neo-classical and the modernist.

The translation from the Arabic has been revised and reworked by the British poetess Heather Lawton. The Arabic and English versions are printed on facing pages, allowing the reader with some knowledge of Arabic to follow the original text.
