"The criticism of... Kamal Abu Dib... and a whole group of intelligent and sophisticated contemporary critics,... deals amply with influence, tradition, originality, structure, poetry-and-society, metre, unity, in a way that complements discussions of similar matters by advanced western critics..." - Edward Said

"I found Kamal Abu-Deeb's "Conflicts, Oppositions, Negations-Modern Arabic Poetry and The Fragmentation of Self/Text" particularly well written and stimulating. Originally published in large part in 1988, Abu-Deeb's observations at that time seem to have been prescient regarding Arabic poetry over the past decade." - Trevor Le Gassick, 1998

"He revolutionised critical discourse in its entirety." - Salah Fadl

"This is a genius who has been affirming his genius ever since he opened the door of genuine modernity in Arabic culture." - Muhammad `Abd al-Muttalib

"Every time I read his studies of poetic imagery in my poetry I learn from him."

"His book.... Is a Copernican revolution in the science of Arabic rhythmic structures." - Adonis
