## Description

A bilingual anthology of poems from the sixth century to the present, Arabic Poems is a one-of-a-kind showcase of a fascinating literary tradition. The Arabic poetic legacy is as vast as it is deep, spanning a period of fifteen centuries in regions from Morocco to Iraq. Themes of love, nature, religion, and politics recur in works drawn from the pre-Islamic oral tradition through poems anticipating the recent Arab Spring. Editor Marlé Hammond has selected more than fifty poems reflecting desire and longing of various kinds: for the beloved, for the divine, for the homeland, and for change and renewal. Poets include the legendary pre-Islamic warrior ‘Antara, medieval Andalusian poet Ibn Zaydun, the mystical poet Rabi‘a al-‘Adawiyya, and the influential Egyptian Romantic Ahmad Zaki Abu Shadi. Here too are literary giants of the past century: Khalil Jibran, author of the best-selling The Prophet; popular Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani; Palestinian feminist Fadwa Tuqan; Mahmoud Darwish, bard of occupation and exile; acclaimed iconoclast Adonis; and more. In their evocations of heroism, nostalgia, mysticism, grief, and passion, the poems gathered here transcend the limitations of time and place.

The poems are from an ensemble of poets ranging from the pre Islamic to modern era. Such an aesthetically pleasing book. Everything is perfect, the cover, the size of the book, the font size. It was perfect considering what I was looking for. Good for people learning Arabic

*by  on Reviewed in India 24 April 2018*

Really a good book! Wonderfully translated where you would feel as if you are reading the original English poem and not the translated. The translators even managed to rhyme the poems and this astonished me!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Average
*by  on Reviewed in India 17 October 2017*

Some poems are like gems of words while others have got lost in translation. Not too attention- gripping .
