SO THAT THE POEM REMAINS is published by Agio Publishing House in cooperation with the New Pen League.'Youssef Abdul Samad's poetry is animated by extravagant lyricism that is both intense and disarming. His poetry delves deep into the human condition, the mundane, sublime, and political; all with precision and pleasing detail. Life's issues are couched in an elegant and eloquent style that is simultaneously profound and accessible. Ghada Alatrash's translation is informed and compassionate. It is a faithful, elegant, and poetic interpretation of Samad's soaring emotions and observations.The resonant poetic voice that she has transmitted into English is as melodious and clear as the Arabic original.' Dr. Mansour Ajami, poet and literary critic'Then again, poetry will never be defeated this easily for as long as there is a man like you who gargles with its water day and night, poetry will forever remain the king of kings.' from worldrenowned Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani's letter to the poetAbout the Poet: Born in Ras al Maten, Lebanon, YOUSSEF ABDUL SAMAD immigrated to the USA in 1969.
