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.
