Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: This translation of Nizar Kabbani's poetry is accompanied by the striking Arabic texts of the poems, penned by Kabbani especially for this collection. Kabbani was a poet of great simplicity - direct, spontaneous, musical, using the language of everyday life. He was a ceasless campaigner for women's rights, and his verses praise the beauty of the female body, and of love. He was an Arab nationalist, yet he criticized Arab dictators and the lack of freedom in the Arab world.

Customer Reviews
A rich and sensual read
As a poetry lover, it is a shame that I have only recently discovered Nizar Kabbani, one of the Arabic world's best-known contemporary poets. His _Arabian Love Poems_ are vivid, powerful, intense with beautiful imagery and a poignant tone. For readers of Arabic, it is also dual language. In any case, a marvelous collection. Highly recommended.

Good love poems
This book makes a real contribution to understanding Arab culture through its rich poetry. I recommend it to the general reader who does not have a background in poetry or literature but just wants a good read.

Arabian love poems
Mr. Qabani is very famous in the arab culture. His reputation comes from the sensitive and sentimental poems he writes about love and women. Unfortunately, the collection of poems in this item did not represent well the work he is famous for.
