About this book
Sameh Saudi follows Nizar Qabbani from jasmine-scented Damascus to his final exile in London, examining how private love and public defeat reshaped his poetic voice. The study considers family influences, diplomatic life, the rupture of 1967 and the way the figures of Balqis, Jerusalem and Damascus came to share a single emotional language. Combining literary analysis with historical narrative and documentary photographs, the book reads Qabbani's life and work as a journey from personal lyricism toward political witness.
