This definitive biography of Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet, traces the phenomenon of a first-generation immigrant succeeding in twentieth-century American arts and letters. Drawing upon never-before published letters and documents, the authors describe Gibran's boyhood in Lebanon, his family's impoverished years in turn-of-the-century Boston, and his eventual friendship with that city's intellectual elite. How Gibran survived the cultural shock of the New World, became part of the New York creative avant garde ,and at the same time sought to preserve his ethnic identity by working for justice in the Middle East are recorded in great detail. The younger Kahlil Gibran, co-author of this biography, is a noted Boston sculptor and is the poet's cousin and namesake. Over a forty-year period, he was entrusted with a formidable body of work left by the poet. Illustrated with beautiful sketches and archival photographs.
