ABSTRACT

First published in 2005. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company. By far the most popular poet of the Arab Word, popular in the true sense of the word. The late Nizar Kabbani's selected poems appear here in English for the first time. So popular is he that one of his poems is the greatest love song in the Arab world, recorded by the legendary Egyptian singer Um Khalsoum and played on virtually every taxi's radius across the Middle East.
