For centuries, spoken Arabic was kept separate from the language of
literary expression, with poetry exclusively the domain of the
latter. Today, modern Egyptian colloquial poetry is a robust,
sophisticated, and versatile genre, enjoyed by millions. After the
eruption of the revolutionary youth movement in Egypt on January
25th, 2011, this genre became one of the vehicles for revolutionary
communications. However, it has long been neglected in the critical
space. Here, Noha Radwan offers the first book-length study of the
emergence, context, and development of modern Egyptian colloquial
poetry and situates in among modernist Arab poetry.
