<DIV><b>Works by Kahlil Gibran intimately reveal the complex nature of one of the twentieth century&rsquo;s most influential writers</b><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Kahlil Gibran wrote prolifically and passionately in Arabic as well as English. First published in 1965 with nine works of poetry translated by Joseph Sheban, <i>Mirrors of the Soul </i>includes writings by Gibran that are as poignant today as when first written, such as &ldquo;The New Frontier&rdquo; and&ldquo;The Sea.&rdquo; These poems illuminate the dual nature of Gibran, who lived in the shadows both of New York skyscrapers and the cedars of his childhood Lebanon.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Sheban enriches the new works with an insightful biography, a historical examination of politics and religion in Gibran&rsquo;s native land, and the inclusion of revolutionary poems such as &ldquo;My Countrymen&rdquo; and &ldquo;My People Died.&rdquo;</div><DIV>&#160;</div></div>
