Women and hair

In a style that combines literature and humor, Nicolas Fayyad takes us in this book to a literary gathering in Beirut at the beginning of the twentieth century, where he delivered his famous speech on "Women and Poetry." The author places women at the heart of the creative process; they are both the muse and the inspired, the source of beauty that opens the doors of imagination for the poet and leads him to worlds of sublime meanings. Through his review of prominent female poets throughout the ages, citing their masterpieces, Fayyad reveals how poetry has never been the exclusive domain of men. He concludes with a refined artistic conclusion with his poem "Woman and the Poet," which embodies a delicate debate in which the woman's voice triumphs. The poet is humbled by her beauty and confesses that without her, the world would not have known poetry. It is an enjoyable book, full of literary spirit, critical thought, and humor, combining poetic heritage with an awareness of the value of women in creativity.
