A Reading-Translation of Medieval and Modern Arabic Elegies.
The book consists of a critical introduction and six chapters on two famous great medieval poems by Ibn al-Anbari
and Abu Tammam, and three unique and remarkable poems by Khalil Hawi, Nizar Qabbani, and Badr Shakir al-
Sayyab.
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.

Mansour Ajami is a writer and translator of books on Arabic poetry, with a PhD in Arabic Literature from Columbia University. He has taught at Princeton, Columbia, Berkeley and other universities.
