Mixed feelings about this one, as it's neither a book of poems, nor are they purely letters. This book is a collection of “poetic excerpts” Qabbani chose to put in a collection, from letters he has sent to past lovers. We neither know to whom the letters were written, nor in what context they were composed.
Another problem I have is his relationship to women, it goes from “i love you, and i want to liberate you from society” to “i love you, you are mine and i can do with you what ever i want, i don't care what you feel” and back, and also without the context, I don't know what kind of evolution he's going through.
However, I love his style, and how over the top he is. It's like destroying the world and torturing oneself is the only logical step after falling in love, and i find that hilarious.
