Amazing analysis of the function, form and place of oral poetics in communal spaces. Crystalline and lyric description of Adonis' views of Arab 'modernism'--accomplished via a wonderful rendering of the techniques of French Symbolists. Pleasurable, informative and revolutionary. One of the best books of poetic form and theory I've ever read.
Superb writing on Arab poetic , another way to look at traditional poetic , exploration of voiceless voices , questioning of traditional forms of poem as they were oral forms. It's good to read
This title is informative and engaging, especially for literary criticism. Arab poetics are extremely complex, and Adonis does a nice job of guiding the reader through those complexities.
This an excellent excellent "concise" take on Arabic poetics. Its not overly technical and based off his lectures.
Essential.
