With the rise of the various intellectual streams in the Western
world in the second half of the twentieth century, modern Arab
poets recognized the need to promote the Arabic poem. They knew
that the road of self exploration and promotion begins in the
ancestral legacy. The Road to Self-Revival explores the tendency of
modern Arabic poetry to summon Sufi figures, thinking, philosophy,
terms, attitudes and practices. Specifically, this volume focuses
on the poetry of four Arab modernists: Abdul Wahab al-Bayyati
(1926-1999), Ali Ahmad Said known as Adonis (1930-), Salah
Abdu-s-Sabur (1931-1981) and Mahmud Darwish (1941-2008). The book
traces a number of Sufi figures in the poetry of these poets: Bishr
ibnul-Harith Al-Hafi (767-840), Al-Husain Ben Mansur Al-Hallaj
(858-922), Farid ed-Din Al-'Attar (1145/46-1221), Muhyi ed-Din
bnul-'Arabi (1165-1240) and Jalal ad-Din Mohammad Rumi (1207-1273).
