The Cedar Never Dies

By Omar Sabbagh

The Cedar Never Dies is a verse-documentary that treats of a dovetailing array of facets of the modern and contemporary Lebanese experience.

Ranging between public and personal tales of all stripes, Sabbagh has given us a liberating book at a time when Lebanon as a state and as a nation are very close to defunct, thus highly topical. Drawing on research and interviews with Lebanese actors of very different sorts, ranging from everyday people to a former Prime Minister, The Cedar Never Dies is the Lebanese narrative of our times.

"Sabbagh brings Lebanon to life through an ingenious bricolage of verse that communicates meanings with a power that prose could never achieve."
Dr. Matthew Ingalls, American University in Dubai (AUD)

The Cedar Never Dies provides us with an elegant, eclectic biography of modern and contemporary Lebanon in verse. The country emerges as interactive, dynamic, divided, and, despite its recurrent infernos, alive.
Dr. Sleiman El Hajj, Lebanese American University (LAU)
