East-West Poetry
A Western Poet Responds to Islamic Tradition in Sonnets, Hymns, and Songs
Martin Bidney
Poetry that responds to the Quran and to the tradition it created.
Written for the general reader and the specialist, Muslim and non-Muslim, East-West Poetry responds to the Quran, scriptural heart of Islam, and to the tradition it created. An introduction relates the Quran to Hebrew and Christian biblical writing and to Rumi, who illumined the Quran with Sufi mystic wisdom; and we sample earlier Western poetic celebrations of Islamic culture.
Rarely has a book been so timely as this one. It is an East-West collection that comes at just the right moment in our cultural history, now that America is reawakening to the plenitude of its varied traditions. The double role of the books author as researcher and poet benefits the reader of the 140 Islam-related lyrics offered here. Katharina Mommsen
Martin Bidney has [brought] the Christian Gospel and the Muslim Quran together with the Torah to form a luminous torch of love and understanding. Khalil Semaan
