Arabian Love Poems: Full Arabic and English Texts (Three Continents Press)
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 StudiesThis 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 ReviewThis book is good ... and it provides real access to Nizar Qabbani s poetry.... These translations ... provoke fitting testimony to the memory of the poet. --Stephen Watts, Banipal
