After centuries of oppressive Ottoman rule, the Arab world began
to find new vitality and freedom in the twentieth century. The
accompanying resurgence of creative expression is splendidly
reflected in this definitive anthology of contemporary Arabic
poetry, which spans the modern Arab world from the turn of the
century to the present, from the Arab Gulf to Morocco. The editor,
Salma Khadra Jayyusi, a renowned expert on modern Arabic
literature, presents a through introduction to the works of more
than ninety Arab poets. To create the best possible English
translation, each selection has been translated first by a
bilingual expert and then by an English-language poet, who
creatively renders it into idiomatic English.
