Do you know that Khalil is the all-time third best selling poet’s middle name? His first name was Gubran, which was dropped in school due to a clerical error.
Khalil Gibran was a Lebanese poet, writer and artist who shifted to the U.S. after his father was imprisoned for embezzlement. His famous book, ‘The Prophet’, has not been out of circulation since it was published in 1923. A literary hero, Khalil Gibran could write beautifully in both English and Arabic.
