AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The role of the poet in olden days of the lands of Arabia. Highly respected in his tribe, the poet was seen as a protector, defender, educator, speaker, warrior. Similarly, nothing was worse than a 'fallen' or shamed poet, who would be exiled from his tribe. Today, modern poets do not exert such influence, and are simply a 'click' away in their own little tribe, a website page online.
