Poetry is the quintessence of Arab culture. In this book one of
today's foremost Arab poets reinterprets a rich and ancient
heritage. He examines the oral tradition of the pre-Islamic poetry
of Arabia and the relationship between Arabic poetry and the
Qur'an, and between poetry and thought. He also assesses the
challenges of modernism and the impact of Western culture on the
Arab poetic tradition. Stimulating in their originality, eloquent
in their treatment of a wide range of poetry and criticism, these
reflections open up fresh perspectives on one of the world's
greatest--and least explored--literatures.
