Gibran Khalil Gibran, known in English as Kahlil Gibran, was born on January 6, 1883, in Bsharri, Lebanon, to Kamila Gibran and Khalil Gibran. He immigrated with his family to the United States in the late 19th century, settling in Boston, where his early experiences shaped his multicultural identity. He explored both Arabic and English literary traditions and developed a distinct voice blending Eastern mysticism with Western romanticism. Gibran studied art in Paris and maintained a lifelong commitment to visual expression alongside his writing. His creative output included poetry, essays, parables, and philosophical reflections, characterized by lyrical language and spiritual overtones. He was particularly drawn to themes of love, freedom, sorrow, and the soul s journey, often addressing them through allegorical and symbolic forms. Though often labeled a philosopher, he preferred to be seen as an artist of the heart and spirit. His works gained broad appeal, especially among those seeking emotional and spiritual insight. He died in New York on April 10, 1931, at age 48, and was later buried in his hometown. His legacy continues through his enduring influence on both Middle Eastern and Western literary landscapes.
