This translation of Nizar Kabbani's poetry is accompanied by the Arabic texts of the poems. It portrays Kabbani's style - direct, spontaneous, musical, using the language of everyday life. He was a campaigner for women's rights, and his verses praise the beauty of the female body, and of love.

Nizar Qabbani is my favorite Arabic poet. His writing is both comprehensible and spectacularly beautiful, meaning that learners like me can understand his work, learn from it, and appreciate its literary beauty all at the same time! And this bilingual edition is a perfect place to start.
