The poet is the prince of words, the calligrapher the choreographer.

Inspired by ancient classical poets, master calligrapher Hassan Massoudy homage to the depth of poetry through visual expression. In more than one hundred calligraphies, he responds to these timeless poems with his signature broad strokes and vibrant colours, capturing the words and wisdom of our greatest poets from Al Mutanabbi, Rumi and Khalil Gibran, to Socrates, Shakespeare and Jacques Prevert. From evocations to the immensity of the desert to soulful expressions of unrequited love, Massoudy pays breathes new life into the classics with vibrant artistry.

Beautifully illustrated, The Poet and the Calligrapher is the perfect gift and journey for poets, art lovers and dreamers alike.
