Book Synopsis
The poet is the prince of words, the calligrapher the choreographer. Inspired by timeless poems from around the world, master calligrapher Hassan Massoudy builds a bridge from ancient classical poets and calligraphers to today. Through his signature broad strokes and vibrant colours, he captures the words and wisdom of some of our greatest poets, from Al Mutanabbi, Rumi and Khalil Gibran, to Socrates, Shakespeare and Jacques Prévert. From evocations to the immensity of the desert to tributes to unrequited love, Massoudy pays homage to the freedom of this poetry through visual expression. Beautifully illustrated throughout, The Poet and the Calligrapher brings new life to old words. The perfect gift and journey for poets, art lovers and dreamers alike.
