Childhood of Nahd by Nizar Qabbani … Is he a Syrian poet from Lebanon or a Lebanese poet from Syria? Every Arab reader may find himself in him. Nizar Qabbani’s poetry goes beyond the boundaries of place to become a human language. He carried the burden of poetry even if he did not preach theories. His poem was his statement, and people’s love was its highest seal. This paste, his poetry with perfume, was not swept away by industry. He remained in fusion with his spontaneity. He is a goldsmith, not a manufacturer, and a singer from the depths of the forest and from the silk of the bed, and his rhythm is like a golden scale. As Nizar dipped his pen in the heart of feeling, so duty dictates that we dip our pens in Nizar’s poetry. But alas! Who can keep up with his spontaneous flow? The poet of burning longing and stinging anger, the poet of the most embered moments, our fire falls short of you, for your glow penetrates the ages. There is in you a fever that fills absence with the hand that God extended to humanity in the form of Michelangelo. Ansi Al-Hajj, November 2013.
