Author Information

"Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931), an artist, poet, and writer, was born in Lebanon and spent much of his productive life in the United States. He is known in the English-speaking world primarily for The Prophet, a book of twenty-six poetic essays published in 1923 which achieved cult status. He remains one of the world's bestselling poets, second only to Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu. To many he is a genius whose philosophical and prophetic style convey important messages about life and humanity in a simple, yet beautifully eloquent manner, which was described by Library Journal as poetic prose, half New Testament and half Walt Whitman."" Dalton Hilu Einhorn is the son of Virginia Hilu, the editor who produced the first-ever book from the Gibran/ Haskell archives at the University of North Carolina. Following in her footsteps after her tragic, young death, he gained permission to return to the collection, in which he discovered over 150 Gibran pieces never before published. Kevin Kenerly, an AudioFile Earphones Award-winning narrator, earned a BA degree at Olivet College. A longtime member of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, he has acted in more than twenty seasons, playing dozens of roles."
