This anthology of 20 Arab American poets (five of them women) is the revised edition of a 1988 hardcover, with a new introduction, updated biographies, and a few new poems. Although the headnotes could have used more updating, the volume is a useful presentation of poets with Arab American “Bicultural” heritage. (All poems are in English.) The superstar is the legendary Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931), born in a Lebanese mountain village and raised in Boston, one of the world’s most famous modern poets. With an astonishing 9.5 million copies in print, Gibran’s The Prophet (published in 1923) remains Random House’s “all-time bestseller.”
