25th Anniversary Edition of a Groundbreaking Classic. Winner of the PEN Oakland Literary Award. The Poetry of Arab Women: A Contemporary Anthology was named one of the Top 10 Feminist Books by The Guardian newspaper.
Arab women poets work within one of the oldest literary traditions in the world, yet they are virtually unknown in the West. In assembling this collection, award-winning poet Nathalie Handal has compiled an outstanding, important treasury that introduces the poetry of Arab women living all over the world, writing in Arabic, French, English, and other languages, and including some of the twentieth century's most accomplished poets as well as today's most exciting new voices.

Translated by distinguished translators and poets from around the world, The Poetry of Arab Women showcases the work of 83 poets, among them Etel Adnan, Andrée Chedid, Salma Khadra Jayyusi, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Fadwa Tuqan. With an illuminating introduction by Handal, and extensive biographies of both poets and translators, this volume sheds brilliant light on a hitherto under-recognized group of talented poets.
