influenced by the European modernists of the late
nineteenth century.

prose poems written in simple language for Arabic
newspapers in the United States.

earnestness of his ideas allow him to speak to a broad audience as
only a handful of other twentieth-century American poets have.

highly formalized Arabic poetry. "Gibranism," the term used for his
approach, attracted many followers.
