One of Jordan's most celebrated writers, he faced the dilemmas and contradictions of the Arab world during the Cold War years, caught between East and West, tradition and modernity.

Zusammenfassung With unflinching courage and brutal honesty, he revealed his life in poems: his family, his connection with his homeland, his rejection of tradition, his flirtation with leftist ideology, his love affairs, his politics, his experience of war and defeat, his inner struggle, his quest for truth.
