This book consists of a critical introduction and six chapters on two famous medieval poems by Ibn al-Anbari and Abu Tammam, and three unique and remarkable poems by Khalil Hawi (1919-1982), one of the most famous Lebanese poets of the C20th; Nizar Qabbani (1923-1928), a Syrian poet, diplomat and publisher; and Badr Shakir al-Sayyab (1926-1964), the well-known and widely translated Iraqi poet.
The author applies a deconstructive critical interpretation (analysis) to the two medieval poems and a reading translation of the modern ones. The introduction contains new ideas on translation from Arabic into English and a new reading of the rhyme in medieval and modern Arabic poetry.
