A Tear and a Smile
دمعة وابتسامة
A collection of several dozen prose poems and short pieces previously published in the Arabic press of New York (chiefly al-Muhajir). Meditations on love, beauty, nature, poverty and injustice in a plain, musical Arabic that broke with classical rhetoric and helped spread the prose poem in Arabic literature.
