A Horseback Afternoon: Collected poems Written In & Out of Surrealism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781915079640)

Abdul Kader El-Janabi's A Horseback Afternoon is a selection of poems which encompasses a life in writing, spanning forty years, from 1975 to 2015. Abdul Kader El-Janabi's poetry carves deep into the history of literature. Self described as a "tiger of languages in a jungle of dictionaries", El-Janabi writes with a nod to the surrealist tradition, mixed with the broad technicolour brushstrokes of old masters like Charles Baudelaire, Denise Levetov, and Wallace Stevens.
