El-Hage
Reflects on Life of Exiled Iraqi Poet Badr Shakir al-Sayyab
George El-Hage, Arabic studies
lecturer, reads "Hymn of the Rain" by Badr Shakir al-Sayyab
in both English and the original Arabic. Al-Sayyab was
the founder of Arabic free verse and lived a life of
exile, suffering and redemption, El-Hage recounts.
