Abu al-Qasim al-Shabbi is one of the first romanticists in Arabic poetry and the most attractive literary figures of twentieth century Tunisia, and the only Maghribi author of the modern period so far to attain the stature of greatness in the Arab world. He was born in the village of Al-Shabbah, near Tozeur in Tunisia. He received a traditional Islamic education, and then became a student at al-Zaytuna in Tunis. He read Western romantic poets in translation as well as Arab Romantic poets of al-Mahjar, particularly Jubran Khalil Jubran, who greatly influenced his work. His poetic talent manifested itself at an early age and this poetry covered numerous topics, from the description of nature to patriotism. His poems were first published in periodicals and newspapers. His talent was first appreciated in Cairo in the thirties by the Zaki Abu Shadi editor of Apollo magazine and his poetry was published in this magazine. The most complete edition of al-Shabbi’s poetry collection was published in Cairo under the title Aghani al-Hayat (Songs of Life) in 1955
