About the Author
The two authors are unusually qualified to present this story. The younger Kahlil Gibran, a noted sculptor, is the poet's cousin and namesake. Over a thirty-year period, he was entrusted with a formidable body of work left by the poet. Jean Gibran, a school teacher, has worked closely with her husband in researching this biography.
