Synopsis

Clay Tablets in Nietzsche's Cave is a masterful, poetic work--and as momentous for the reception of Arabic poetry in English as was the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls for theologians and anthropologists. These "clay tablets"--excavated ostensibly from the cave of the Neanderthal of atheistic philosophy--unfurl a tour-de-force of aphoristic verses insisting on our need to sing, especially in negotiating our existence as animate dust, prostrate before Divinity.
