Andalusian poetry by Arab poets. Translated by Daníel Á. Daníelsson.
In the original language, the book is called Cola Franzen, Poems of Arab Andalusia.
Arab poets and poets of Jewish origin wrote their best poetry in Andalusia, Spain, in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth centuries. Arab culture left its mark on Spain, and it has not yet been completely erased.
Spanish poets associated with the Generation of 1927 were influenced by these poems, including Federico García Lorca and Rafael Alberti. García Lorca wrote an entire book of poetry under the banner of Arabic poetry, El Diván del Tamarit, and these poems are among the last of his surviving works.
The simplicity of these poems, their passion and form inspired Spanish poets and not only them. Arab influence spread throughout the world. Most of the Arab poets were nobles, even viziers, princes and kings. They wrote about women, love and wine, friendship, horses, knights and battles and praised the nature of Andalusia, where their main places of residence were Seville, Cordoba and Granada. With their poetry they became models for troubadour songs and other poetic poetry of the South.
