Paperback. Condizione: Good. "This superbly presented edition.will well serve to introduce an American readership to one of the finest 20th century poets of the Middle East."--Midwest Book Review "Bassam Frangieh and Clementina Brown have done us all a great service by collaborating to create this bilingual volume. The Arabic is a reproduction of the poet's own handwritten text of the selected poems, indicating the collaboration of the poet in the project as well. an excellent introductory volume to the work of this icon of modern Arabic poetry for students and aficionados of Arabic and world poetry."--Clarissa Burt, Journal of Arabic Studies "This translation in English is much needed. Arabian Love Poems succeeds in rendering into English the beautiful poetical verse of Qabbani."--Amira El-Zein, MESA Bulletin "This book is good . and it provides real access to Nizar Qabbani's poetry.

He was a ceaseless campaigner for women's rights, and his verses praise the beauty of the female body, and of love. He was an Arab nationalist, yet he criticized Arab dictators and the lack of freedom in the Arab world. He was the poet of Damascus: "I am the Damascene. If you dissect my body, grapes and apples will come out of it. If you open my veins with your knife, you will hear in my blood the voices of those who have departed." Frangieh and Brown's elegant translations are accompanied by the striking Arabic texts of the poems, penned by Kabbani especially for this collection.…
