He has published critical essays on a number of writers, including George Eliot, Lawrence Durrell, and Henry Miller. He has a PhD in English Literature from King's College London and is presently an Assistant Professor in English at the American University in Dubai.
‘Omar Sabbagh writes with rare intensity and generosity. Ideas and
images overflow the lines of his verse, as well as their own
boundaries, in a Shelleyan helter-skelter. Like Shelley, Sabbagh
believes in the transformative power of poetry; unlike Shelley, he
is also in love with language itself.’
