“Love is a prisoner in the Middle East, and I want to free it.”
–Nizar Qabbani
This notebook bears the poetry of Nizar Qabbani,, a Syrian poet from Damascus who wrote about the pain of love, the erotic, and freedom for the Arab woman. Qabbani held a deep reverence for women and saw them as the source of love, salvation, and power. He resisted the conservatism of his people, and insisted on the liberation of body and soul from the social laws of his time. Qabbani rejected the secrecy of love.“Love me and say it out loud,” he wrote. “I refuse that you love me mutely.”
His verses were written using a special kind of reed that grows along the river in Turkey. And on the first page of your notebook, you will find the english translation to those verses.
From one writer to another… sincerely,
