With Jerusalem as its epicentre, The Maltese Dreambook extends Gabriel
Levin's quarter-century-long ramble through the Levant, his adopted
homeland. On a Greek island, in the desert wastes of southern Jordan and
in Malta, whose Stone Age temples serve as a backdrop to the title poem,
this collection abounds in unforeseen encounters that blur the borders
between the phantasmal and the real, the modern and the archaic, the
rational and the imaginary.
