Jubrān Khalīl Jubrān (Arabic: جُبْرَان خَلِيل جُبْرَان;[a] January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931), usually referred to in English as Kahlil Gibran,[b]{{harvnb|Gibran|Gibran|1991|p=[https://archive.org/details/kahlilgibranhisl00gibr/page/29/mode/1up 29]}} Other sources use K''ha''lil Gibran, reflecting the typical English spelling of the forename [[Khalil (given name)|Khalil]], although Gibran continued to use his full birth name{{clarify |date=June 2025}} for publications in Arabic."}},"i":0}}]}'>[c] was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist.

Returning to Boston upon his youngest sister's death in 1902, he lost his older half-brother and his mother the following year, seemingly relying afterwards on his remaining sister's income from her work at a dressmaker's shop for some time.
In 1904, Gibran's drawings were displayed for the first time at Day's studio in Boston, and his first book in Arabic was published in 1905 in New York City.[6] With the financial help of a newly met benefactress, Mary Haskell, Gibran studied art in Paris from 1908 to 1910. While there, he came in contact with Syrian political thinkers promoting rebellion in Ottoman Syria after the Young Turk Revolution;[7] some of Gibran's writings, voicing the same ideas as well as anti-clericalism,[8] would eventually be banned by the Ottoman authorities.[9] In 1911, Gibran settled in New York, where his first book in English, The M
