Born in Syria in 1930, Adonis later moved to Lebanon and became a
pivotal figure in the new poetry of the late 1960s. With the
publication of Mihyar of Damascus: His Songs in 1963-widely viewed
as a watershed moment in Arabic poetry-Adonis forged a new set of
possibilities for Arabic poetry, writing in traditional meters but
infusing them with modernist rhythms, styles, and conceptual
complexities. Translators Adnan Haydar (University of Arkansas in
Fayetteville) and Michael Beard (University of North Dakota)
co-edit a series of books, Middle East Literature in Translation,
for Syracuse University Press.
