Gibran, Kahlil (1883–1931)

Lebanese-American essayist, artist, and mystic poet. Brought to Boston in 1895, he studied in Beirut and Paris before settling in New York in 1912. A Maronite Christian influenced by the Bible, William Blake, and Nietzsche, he wrote in both Arabic and English, exploring the themes of love, nature, longing for homeland, and romantic rebellion, including, controversially, the rebellion of women against arranged marriages. He is best known in the West for The Prophet (1923).
