The Immortal Voices of Arabic Poetry: Abū Tammām, al-Buḥturī, and al-Mutanabbī gathers three pillars of the classical canon in fresh, balanced translations. Abū Tammām appears as architect-anthologist whose argued couplets and Ḥamāsah reshape taste; al-Buḥturī as master of music and scene-spring odes, ekphrasis (the Īwān of Kisrā), praise as ethical scenography; al-Mutanabbī as voltage and aphorism, where battlefield and maxim share one cadence. An introduction orients readers to period, patronage, and form; concise headnotes anchor occasion and genre; transliteration accompanies idiomatic English so cadence, image-density, and rhetorical design survive without over-domestication. Built for classrooms and first encounters as well as specialists, the volume restores scale, pressure, and context-showing how Arabic verse could mourn and magnify, teach and dazzle, argue and endure in a single line.
