Poems and Paintings from the Middle East
This elegant anthology features the work of 130 poets and artists from 19 countries in the Middle East, one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented areas in the world - yet a place rich with history and culture. The poets and artists in the collection range from the beloved Yehuda Amichai, Moshe Dor, Mahmud Darwish, Nazim Hikmet, Naguib Mahfouz to those who have never been published before. With 30 pieces of full-color art and a strikingly beautiful, elegant design, this rich volume is in turn compelling, mysterious, lyrical, tragic, and humorous. It opens the door to the Middle East and beckons readers to explore our common ground.
