<blockquote>Ibn Al-Mu‘tazz is the spontaneous poet, akin in temper to Abu Nuwās. Free-ranging in his choice of subject, he is noted for newness of approach in handling his themes. What makes him essentially new, however, lies on another plane and is not immediately apparent: Carried along by his bold and sensuous imagery, we are satisfied that it is so, until, on pausing, we suddenly glimpse the perspective beyond.<ref>Charles Greville Tuety (trans.), ''Classical Arabic Poetry: 162 Poems from Imrulkais to Ma‘arri'' (London: KPI, 1985), p. 79.</ref></blockquote>
===Editions===
There are two main editions of Al-Mu‘tazz's ''diwān'': Muhammad Badī‘ Šarīf (ed.), <u>D</u>ahā’ir al-‘Arab (Dãr al-Maarif, 1977-78) and Yūnus Ahmad as-Sāmarrā’ī (ed.) (Baghdad: Iraqi Ministry of Information, 1978). Of the two, the latter is more reliable, but at times the former offers better readings.<ref>Nefeli Papoutsakis, '[https://www.jstor.org/stable/42636409 Ibn al-Muʿtazz the Epigrammatist: Some Notes on Length and Genre of Ibn al-Muʿtazz's Short Poems]', ''Oriens'', 40 (2012), 97-132 (pp 100-104).</ref>
