This edition contains the crème de la crème of my Omaresque style quatrains. Inspired by Omar, I’ve endeavored to recapture his spirit for our modern times, although I have surely been influenced by Edward FitzGerald’s translated gems. Herein are my own inventions, not translations or paraphrases.
There is a companion prose version, ‘The Triumph of Life, Love, and Being’, in which a loving couple take a long, picaresque journey through the countryside to explore the joys and follies of the human condition, living out the quatrains.
