Nabati Poetry: The Oral Poetry of Arabia offers a deep exploration of a vibrant poetic tradition that has long captured the cultural and social essence of Arabia. Rooted in the central region of Najd, Nabati poetry serves as a vernacular artistic expression of the Arabian Peninsula, blending historical narrative, tribal ethos, and personal emotion into its verse. This book illuminates the profound role Nabati poetry has played as a form of communication, social commentary, and historical documentation, transcending the boundaries of formal literary traditions. Through its study of the poetic forms, cultural context, and oral transmission, the book provides a window into the dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity, as Nabati poetry grapples with the rapid transformations of Arabian society. The work is structured to address the aesthetic, linguistic, and historical dimensions of Nabati poetry. It delves into the composition and performance of this art form, highlighting the oral traditions that have preserved its vitality while examining its connections to classical Arabic poetry. By drawing comparisons between Nabati and classical traditions, the book situates this vernacular form within the broader framework of Arabic literature. The final sections provide an urgent call for the preservation of this fading art form, emphasizing its significance as both a historical record and a cultural treasure. Rich with poetic examples and insightful analysis, Nabati Poetry: The Oral Poetry of Arabia is an essential resource for understanding the poetic soul of premodern Arabia.
