Arabian Love Poems

"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, "This translation in English is much needed.... succeeds in rendering into English the beautiful poetical verse of Qabbani."—Amira El-Zein, "This book is good ... and it provides real access to Nizar Qabbani's poetry.... These translations ... provoke fitting testimony to the memory of the poet."—
