The Commandments of Qaid Al-Ard

The Commandments of Qaid al-Ard is the last collection of poems of Said Al-Saqlawi translated into the English language. The poet swift from an intimate voice, almost whispering to the reader’s personal experiences of sensitive and highly delicate beauty, to a coral dimension where the artist sings the love and the proudness for his Homeland, Oman, and his both Arab History and Identity openly. Said Al-Saqlawi’s poems, along with their pressing rhythm and charming melody, bring the reader in a spellbound atmosphere, where the sounds get merged with perfumes, aromas, and feelings emanating from every single poem, trapping the senses and carrying the imagination in a remote place, far off in time and space.
