The Funambulists brings together the diverse poetry collections of
six contemporary Arab diasporic women poets. Spanning multiple
languages and regions, this volume illuminates the distinct
artistic voice of each poet, yet also highlights the aesthetic and
political relevance that unites their work. Marchi explores the
work of Naomi Shihab Nye, a celebrated American poet of Palestinian
descent; Iman Mersal, an Egyptian poet living in Edmonton, Canada,
who writes in Arabic; Nadine Ltaif, a Lebanese poet who lives in
Quebec and has adopted French as her language; Maram al-Massri, a
Syrian poet writing in Arabic and living in France; Suheir Hammad,
an American poet of Palestinian origin; and Mina Boulhanna, a
Moroccan poet living in Italy and writing in Italian. Despite their
varying geographical and political backgrounds, these poets find
common ground in themes of injustice, spirituality, gender, race,
and class. Drawing upon the concept of tension, Marchi examines
both the breaking points and the creative energies that traverse
the poetic works of these writers. These celebrated funambulists
use their art of balance and flexibility bolstered by their courage
and transgression to walk a tightrope stretched out across
cultures, faiths, and nations.
