Poetry in Saudi Arabia today is a dramatic manifestation of the rapid changes that are sweeping not only through the country's literature and culture, but also through Saudi life as a whole. This title presents a picture of how poetry has evolved in Saudi Arabia.
Poetry in Saudi Arabia today is a dramatic manifestation of the rapid changes that are sweeping not only through the country''s literature and culture, but also through Saudi life as a whole. The unyielding tension between the forces of change and tradition are nowhere more painfully visible than in the poem. Bringing together three generations of poets -a total of forty, each represented by a number of poems - this anthology reflects the broad spectrum of Saudi poetry over the last half century or more. By linking Hussain Sarhan and Hamza Shahata from the 1950s to Hilda Ismail and Ahmad Katoua''h in today''s world, and by juxtaposing the traditional rhythms of the classical poem with the diametrically oppostite poetics of the prose poem, this anthology offers a balanced picture of how poetry has evolved in Saudi Arabia. The anthology includes translations of works by Mohammad Al-Ali, Fawziah Abu Khalid, Ghazi Al-Qusaibi, Mohammad Al-Thubaiti and Ali AdDomaini.
