Summary This book is dedicated to the style of the Kurdish poet [Sherko Bekas], a marvelous, fabulous work and relies on all literary genres. Sherko Bekasi's works and poems have been analyzed in a scientific manner and deserve to be relied upon as a dependable source in the Kurdish department in higher education as well as in secondary schools. We testify to this and confirm that the authors of the work have worked hard and delivered a thorough and detailed analysis and they are thanked and commended. Professor Dr. Sabah Musa Ali, Kurdish Language Department, College of Education, Kirkuk University, Iraq This book explores poetry by Sherko Bekas, a Kurdish writer and Swedish Tucholsky award winner, providing contextualising biography (with original new information from an interview with his son) and critical stylistic analyses of two selected poems. The authors also include a section on the Kurdish language and translation of the poems into English. There are very few English translations of some of Bekas' poems and no book so far on the stylistic or even linguistic analysis of his work, with the result that Bekas is not widely known in the "Western" world. This book aims to fill this lacuna in the literary and linguistic canon, and it will be of interest to students and scholars of Translation, Stylistics, Middle Eastern History and Literature. Ulrike Tabbert is a Senior Public Prosecutor (Oberamtsanwltin) at a German prosecution office and a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Huddersfield, UK. She holds a PhD in linguistics from Huddersfield and researches the construction of crime, criminals and victims across a variety of text types. Among other publications, she is the author of two monographs, Crime and Corpus (2015) and Language and Crime (2016, Palgrave Macmillan) as well as co-editor of The Linguistics of Crime (2022). Mahmood K. Ibrahim (known as Mahmood Baban) is Professor of Linguistics at Imam Jaafar Al-Sadiq University in Iraq and director and supervisor of the language courses at Kirkuk Institute. He completed his PhD in English Language and Literature at the University of Huddersfield, UK, in 2018.
