Overview

Shtiwi Al Githi is a wonderfully learned poet steeped in love for his native Saudi Arabia. He writes poems that stretch across the ages of his country’s history, faith and literary culture. He identifies with the vastness of the desert and the desert sky to draw connections that span the ages and that capture a longing and desire for his homeland and a deep love of his poetic heritage and Islamic culture. His themes also touch on the frustrations of romantic love and the recent isolation inflicted by Covid. This poetry collection offers a fascinating glimpse of the subtlety and depth of a nomadic imagination forged in deep experience of the geography and philosophy and in knowledge of the Quran and of the ancient traditions of Arabic poetry.
