Adonis: Selected Poems (The Margellos World Republic of Letters)
"Poetry for Adonis is not merely a genre or an art form but a way of thinking, something almost like mystical revelation." (Charles McGrath, New York Times) "Selected Poems reveals the transformation of Adonis' style over the past five decades to a degree that has not been possible in the previous single collections of the poet's work in English translation... Without doubt, Adonis has changed the game of Arab poetry. With the publication of Khaled Mattawa's lucid translations in Selected Poems, Adonis may change the American poetry game, as well." (Stephan Delbos, The Prague Post)"
