Farfa (poet)

Farfa, also known as Farfa Ibn al-'Abbas al-Baghdadi, was a medieval Arab poet. Details of his life are scarce, with limited biographical information available. He is primarily known for his poetry, which often reflects themes common in Arabic literature of the period, including love, nature, and social commentary. While not considered one of the most prominent or widely anthologized figures in classical Arabic poetry, his surviving works provide insights into the literary landscape and cultural values of his time. Attribution of poems to Farfa can be challenging due to the potential for misattribution in historical manuscripts. Further research and critical analysis of available texts are needed to fully understand his place within the broader context of Arabic poetic tradition.
