These influences, combined with the Gulf tradition of Nabati poetry, a form dear to him for its social and literary significance, impart a particular quality to the poems published in this book. Sheikh Mohammed expresses a mature sensitivity through this medium, reflecting a love of thought and language. Language: English ISBN: 9781860632525 Hardcover, 68 pages, 21.0 cm x 15.0 cm
