Khalil Gibran, a prominent Lebanese-American author, known most famously for this piece of work, The Prophet. He follows along a character who is leaving an island which had long been called home. But prior to leaving, he imparts words of wisdom to the other inhabitants. These pieces of poetry deal with the complexities that come with the transition of leaving home and starting a new left elsewhere as an immigrant. They also demonstrate that immigrants can have an abundance of knowledge to share with their new community. He imparts teachings on virtues such as love, community, generosity, family, and so much more.
