Tamplin’s footnoted translations are supplemented with a biography, interviews, and pictures in order to contextualize the man behind the poetry.   The aesthetics and politics of vernacular Arabic poetry have long gone undervalued. By offering a close study of the life and work of Hajaya, Tamplin demonstrates the impact that one poet’s voice can have on the people and leaders of the contemporary Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents    Foreword    Clive Holes  Acknowledgements  Preliminary Note    Introduction    Bedouins and Jordan    Bedouin Poetry    The Hajaya Tribe    Muhammad Fanatil al-Hajaya    Part 1: The Poems  Balm of the Wound  Not a Baathist, Not a Commie  Oh Condoleezza Rice!
