	The Poet
		Nizar Qabbani was born in Damascus on March 21, 1923 and began writing poetry in 1944, just one year before he began his Syrian diplomatic career which he later abandoned for his greater love, poetry.
		Qabbani believed the defeat was a shameful event and blames the Arab rulers through his poetry by saying that they have denied the Arab people any chance of expressing their opinions freely and acting as a spontaneous body in a free society.
		Nizar Qabbani, for instance, in "Marginal Notes in the Book of the Setback", expressed his firm confidence that the new generation would be able to achieve what the present generation had failed to do.

		Qabbani was born in Damascus, Syria, in 1923 to a prominent family.
		Nizar attended school in Damascus and graduated from its university with a law degree in 1945.
		Qabbani no longer confined his poetry to his favorite subjects, women and love, but began to write poems of biting criticism, such as "Bread, Hashish and Moon," in which he skewered Arab society for living under the influence of drug-induced daydreams and sensations.

		Qabbani was born in Damascus on March 21, 1923.
		To Beirut, Qabbani devoted many of his words; he charged the Arabs that they collectively conspired to destroy Beirut out of their envy of its beauty.
		Qabbani was even more surprised with the tremendous success of Majida's hit "Words" (Kalimat), especially since he had certain reservations on that piece.

	Special Report
		Qabbani, like most of his contemporary literary peers throughout the Arab world, opened his eyes on a changing society facing a stifling host of problems and challenges that included not only foreign pressures and hegemony but also internal national contradictions as well as the repressed physical and emotional hunger of egocentric youth.
		Qabbani subscribed to the views of Italian philosopher/critic/art historian Benedetto Croce who believed that “artistic appreciation is ‘lyrical intuition.’ And intuition is the initial image of, and precedes all, knowledge.
		Qabbani’s lifelong preoccupation with the themes of love, women, nature and the mysteries of desire and lust in vibrant images that at times verge on the erotic was no less disturbing to the political and religious establishments.

		Nizar Qabbani was also a liberation poet, and I mean this in the sociological rather than the political sense, where liberation is related to all phenomenon of social development in the Arab world.
		Poetry before Nizar Qabbani was never that close to women or that concerned with women's issues.
		Qabbani was the poet of the rebellious woman par excellence.

		Qabbani's poems of exile and elegy ("Um Al-Mu'taz," "A Lesson in Drawing") are especially deeply felt, and he is a poet of subtle intelligence.
		Qabbani, reputed to be the most popular poet in the Arab world, is certainly one of the greatest love poets of all time, as he follows the noble path of Kahlil Gibran.
		The volume's introduction asserts that Qabbani is a heroic champion of women's rights who, by equating beauty and eroticism with liberty and justice, and celebrating women in all their strength and glory, challenges in his poetry his culture's cruel repression of women.

		Here is some of what the Palestinian writer and translator Salma Khadra Jayyusi has to say about him: Qabbani was not embracing fashionable causes when he began his concentrated attack on the way women were induced, through a narrow conservative education, to deny their own humanity.
		Qabbani took on other aspects of his people's criticism, as is mentioned above by his translator.
		The Syrian government, never eager to have the living Nizar Qabbani around the Damascus where he was born in 1923, was quick to dispatch a plane for his inoffensive corpse.
