Women are The Greatest..
Nizar Qabbani loves women. He is amazing! This book is the greatest poetry book i have ever read. i love the way he talks about women like they are precious, amazing and should be tresaured. He is an idol in the arabic world of literature. This book is not just for women,its for everyone. This books also has alot of other poems, e.g. about war, the middeleast, etc. mostly the book is about love and how great women are. Great women of the world have even quoted to have said if they did not read the works of Nizar Qabbani then they would not have had the inspiration to do the amazing things they have done in their lives. This book gives inspiration, soul, hope, everything you can imagine and the author just uses words.

Poetry to Die For
This is simply some of the most beauiful love poetry I have ever read, in any language. Sensual, ravishing, and ultimately heartbreaking.
