Rezensionen
«In this volume Jamal Assadi and Mahmud Na'amneh give English readers an insightful in-road into the world of modern Arabic poetry. Through this work Assadi and Na'amneh move us beyond the written poetic word to the possibility of 'encounter' through 'presence' that borders on the mystical.» (Michael G. Hegeman, Lecturer in Christian Studies, Grand Canyon University, Phoenix Arizona)
