## 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, here presented in stunning pocket-sized hardcover, with English and Arabic on facing pages. 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. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Poetry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book

Excellent

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Introduction to the Poetry of Islam
*by G***S on October 6, 2018*

One of the reasons I chose this book, was my interest in the great Islamic writers from Al-Andalus prior to the 10th century. It did not disappoint me in this regard. In addition, i came to understand how other writers illustrated their thoughts by using metaphors and symbolism in life's trials of love and capitulation. Abu-Al-quasim Al Shabbi from Tunisia, an early 20th century writer penned "The Will of Life," a poem about tyranny and oppression was one such writer whom intrigued my intellect. As such, I would suggest this collection of poems as a gateway to research and understand the many known Arabic writers which span both time and location.
