In The Poet and the Calligrapher, Hassan Massoudy brings timeless poetry to life through vibrant calligraphy. Featuring verses from Rumi to Shakespeare, this beautifully illustrated collection blends visual art with poetic wisdom - a celebration for lovers of words, colour and soul.

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 Prévert. 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.

Hassan Massoudy is considered to be one of the greatest living calligraphers. Born in Iraq, his work has influenced a generation of artists. It has been exhibited throughout Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and is housed in the permanent collections of the British Museum and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts.
