First Published in 1982. This collection of informal essays is described by the author as talks they have given to people who know the, best as a poet, minor academic, and major bureaucrat. These talks were to Saudi Arabian audiences and speak from an Arab point of view – whether about poetry, education, or the social problems of a rapidly developing environment.
