A Horseback Afternoon

<p>Abdul Kader El-Janabi's <em>A Horseback Afternoon</em> is a selection of poems which encompasses a life in writing spanning forty years from 1975 to 2015. Abdul Kader El-Janabi's poetry carves deep into the history of literature. Self described as a tiger of languages in a jungle of dictionaries El-Janabi writes with a nod to the surrealist tradition mixed with the broad technicolour brushstrokes of old masters like Charles Baudelaire Denise Levetov and Wallace Stevens. </p>
