Through a bio-bibliographical introduction about the author and his works, as well as a critical discussion of Adūnīs’ New Poetry and its cultural background, this paper presents the short series of eight poems “Two Songs on Woman and Man, Three Dreams and Three Mirrors” – belonging to the collection of poems The Stage and the Mirrors, first published in 1968. The eight poems constitute a short but precious cycle, complete in itself, and represent an interesting example of themes and style within the work of the sophisticated Syrian-Lebanese poet in the years when he devised and experimented the new forms and new contents of what for him should be the “modernity” of Arabic poetry, suspended between East and West.

Abstract
Through a bio-bibliographical introduction about the author and his works, as well as a critical discussion of Adūnīs’ New Poetry and its cultural background, this paper presents the short series of eight poems “Two Songs on Woman and Man, Three Dreams and Three Mirrors” – belonging to the collection of poems The Stage and the Mirrors, first published in 1968. The eight poems constitute a short but precious cycle, complete in itself, and represent an interesting example of themes and style within the work of the sophisticated Syrian-Lebanese poet in the years when he devised and experimented the new forms and new contents of what for him should be the “modernity” of Arabic poetry, suspended between East and West.
