Shepherd of Solitude

Více o knize

First poetry collection by London-based Jordanian poet Amjad Nasser in English translation by foremost Arabic poetry translator Khaled Mattawa. A powerfully existential chronicle of exile, Shepherd of Solitude conjures a new understanding of Arab life, from war-torn Beirut, to castles in Andalusia, to Bedouin Jordan, to a London suburb in which the poet blends his Bedouin Arab heritage with European literary modernism producing an enthralling range of vivid, thoughtful and intimate poems.
