Review:
'There are three stars in this book - four if you include the distinguished translator - but to my mind it is a five-star publication. I vote it my top poetry book of 1984, and would like to see it widely bought, read, and discussed in the English-speaking world.' --"Orbis"
' . . . A very useful introduction to modern Arabic poetry . . . an elegant, precise translation.' --"Al-Majalla"
' . . . A beautifully produced little book.' --"Middle East International"
'This is an excellent collection of verses from three of the most modern Arab poets.' "--International Journal of Islamic and Arabic Studies"
