Far from the slurs of terrorism with which it too often associated, the Middle East is in fact steeped in a rich and diverse literary tradition – from the Holy Qur'an to Omar Khayyam, from Rumi to Kahlil Gibran. Moreover, its marvelous contemporary poetry offers a distinct reflection of cultural depth and personal reality for us to behold: Turkey, with its proud imperial legacy and historical burden; Israel and Palestine, confluence of civilizations and land of strife; Kurdistan, which has nearly the same population as Taiwan, divided and suppressed by its neighbors, since World War I the most humiliated and disenfranchised of peoples; and Iraq, situated in the cradle of civilization – the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers – caught up in the frontline of war at the beginning of the 21st century. In addition, we are visited by representatives from Iceland – a small country with a noble culture – and newly independent Slovakia. All of these nations stand as mirrors of ourselves.

不被「恐怖主义」污名化的中东，从古兰圣训到奥玛珈音，从鲁米到纪伯仑，实有丰富多元的文学传统，而他们优秀的当代诗歌创作，亦鲜明地反映了文化厚度与切身现实，足让我们以全新的眼光分享──拥有帝国遗产与历史包袱的土耳其；文明交锋、强权倾轧的以色列与巴勒斯坦的土地；人口与台湾相当的库德族，被四分五裂且遭各国镇压，成为一次大战以来最屈辱的无国之民；而伊拉克身处世界文明发祥的两河流域，却沦为二十一世纪首当其冲的战火前线……此外，还有小国寡民却独尊文化的冰岛，以及独立不久的斯洛伐克，处处可以给我们借鉴。

印度河文明何时结束及为何结束仍未能确知；西元前第二千纪摩亨约－达罗受到攻击及洗劫而灭亡，但在南部，仍然可见晚期印度河文明与铜器时代文化间的实际文化衔接，此种文化衔接也是西元前1700～西元前1000年印度中、西部文化的特征。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.
