I am delighted to announce that Oghma Group International and I are collaborating on the preparation of the English edition of "Le Liban, ses épreuves et les conditions de sa double souveraineté," edited by Prof. Hiam Mouannès. This important publishing initiative will make a significant scholarly work on Lebanon accessible to a wider international audience, fostering academic dialogue beyond linguistic and geographical boundaries.
For those interested in exploring the original French edition, it is available through the Presses de l'Université Toulouse Capitole: https://www.ut-capitole.fr/accueil/recherche/publications-de-luniversite/presses-de-luniversite/droit/generalites/le-liban-ses-epreuves-et-les-conditions-de-sa-double-souverainete-sous-la-direction-de-hiam-mouannes-imh?fbclid=IwY2xjawTEMUZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeiueVhuWZ7TDf8ENCdOF9LraJH4dkLnV4hL78XnuudOcXXEFbejmhPTbxsC4_aem_UWcpBxAXkYVFV4h6KmrwQQ

What happens when a book born in exile begins to sing?

I’m pleased to share my latest Echoes Logos essay, “Hearing The Prophet: Two American Composers and the First Musical Life of Orphalese.”
Drawing on archival recordings and scores, the essay uncovers a forgotten chapter in the afterlife of Kahlil Gibran’s "The Prophet": how Gardner Read and Minuetta Kessler gave the book its first sustained musical voice—at once cathedral and intimacy. Through their work, a text born in displacement moved beyond circulation and exile, offering itself as something to be returned to, listened within, and dwelt in.

This piece is about music, memory, belonging, and what it means for a work of art to find a second life in sound.
