Rubaiyat a Kawea Karaiti

The Price of this book has been increased because it is to be marketed in 3-parts with second-edition revisions and additions. This original-text opens as an apologia of 157+7 quatrains exploring the poetic ideologies of Omar Khayyam. It periodically cites quatrains from Omar's entertaining little-book and springboards off them to create a compelling work and thorough critique. Any omitted points are revisited in the follow-on which draws on the experiences of NZ-Born "Kawea Karaiti", creating his own "Kuza-Nama: Book of the Pots" 110-quatrains in the telling (compared to Omar's 16-Quatrains). 81-additional quatrains look at the Persian-Master himself, and two other poetic-pieces round off what the author hopes is by all means an equally entertaining and challenging little-book. These are "The Ballad of Hasan-Bensabbāh", and "The Sommerset-Man". If Omar was honest and unconventional for his times, the same might apply to this book.
