Khalil Gibran

Gibran Khalil Gibran (born January 6 1883 in Bsharri, Lebanon, died April 10 1931 in New York City) was a Lebanese poet and artist. He emigrated to Boston, USA in 1895 with his mother, sisters and half-brother. The spelling "Kahlil Gibran" is the result of an error when he first entered school in Boston. He studied art in Boston and French and Arabic in Lebanon.

In his early teens, Gibran was a protege of Boston photographer and publisher F. Holland Day.
