Inspired by ancient classical poets, master calligrapher Hassan Massoudy has responded to these timeless poems from around the world, with his signature broad strokes and vibrant colours. In seventy poems and calligraphies, he captures the words and wisdom of our greatest poets, from Al Mutanabbi, Rumi and Khalil Gibran, to Socrates, Shakespeare and Jacques Pr?vert. From evocations of the immensity of the desert to soulful expressions of unrequited love, Massoudy pays homage to the depth of poetry through visual expression.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, The Poet and the Calligrapher brings new life to old words. The perfect gift and journey for poets, art lovers and dreamers alike.
