The Poetry of Arab Women: A Contemporary Anthology |
| Nathalie Handal (ed.) |
| Interlink Books, 2001, paperback, 355 pp. |
| Prepared "to eradicate invisibility", this anthology presents the works of 83 Arab women poets. With the exception of Oman and Sudan, every Arab country is represented. The scope of Arab women's poetry is illuminated by the fact that the poems contained here appeared originally not only in Arabic, but in French, English, Spanish and Swedish as well. Covering the whole of the twentieth century, both established and new writers are included. An important introduction to a largely unknown genre, and a contribution to the appreciation of world literature. |
