Summary
This first US publication of Jawdat Fakhreddine-one of the major Lebanese names in modern Arabic poetry-establishes a revolutionary dialogue between foreign, Modernist values and Classical Arabic tradition. Fakhreddine's unique poetic voice is a remarkable accomplishment-a breakthrough for the poetic language of his generation-that presents poetry as a beacon, a bright light that both opposes and penetrates all forms of darkness.
