About the author
Khalil Gibran (1883 – 1931) was a Lebanese-American writer, poet, and visual artist, best known for his debut novel “The Prophet”. Born in the Ottoman Empire, Gibran emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began writing in both English and Arabic. His romantic style of writing was ground-breaking and constituted a change away from traditional classical Arabic literature. Gibran is the third-best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao Tzu.
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 Earphones Award–winning narrator, earned a BA at Olivet College. A longtime member of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, he has acted in more than twenty seasons, playing dozens of roles.
