the best of Irish poet Desmond O'Grady's translations from the
Arabic. The poets choen include Abu Nuwas of Iraq, Ibrahim Naji of
Egypt, Badawi al-Jabal of Syria and Al-Tijani Yusuf Bashir of
Sudan. "Love is the dominant theme of all Arabic poetry from
pre-Islamic times to the present," O'Grady writes in his
introduction. "The Arab concept of poets and poetry is essentially
romantic, and love in its various forms essentially its theme: love
of woman, friend, country, Arab identity, God or his
manifestations." O'Grady also provides a short biographical
introduction to each poet.
