1: Very Powerful, Very Profound
I say this is the most powerful poetry I have read in my life. I cannot read it for more than a few minutes. The poetic images are so intense, the emotions are so powerful. I love this book.
|
2: 6 stars and more
This is the best book on Arabic poetry in the United States.
|
3: Beautiful like Teardrops
This book touched my soul so much that I shared it with all my friends and family. They cried with me at the intense emotion expressed by the great poet Bayati and his masterful translator, Bassam Frangieh. Frangieh succeeds in doing so much more than translating: he unveils the meaning of the text and presents it faithfully and smoothly in English verse. This book is the essence of loneliness, love and homeland. No one has ever translated Bayati into English before. Frangieh's work is unique and immensely valuable.
