Long considered a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature, Syrian poet Adonis is “today’s most daring and provocative Arab poet,” wrote Edward Said. Now 80 and living in Paris, Adonis makes his first appearance at the Poetry Center, reading from his newly published Selected Poems. Khaled Mattawa, his translator, reads from an English translation starting about six minutes into the recording.
