A newly translated collection of poetry in a bilingual editionby Francophone
writer Nadia Tuéni, including more than forty selected poems, together with articles on Tuéni's work.
Description
This book comprises both Christophe Ippolito and Paul B. Kelley's never-before
translated Sentimental Archives of a War in Lebanon and Sam Hazo's English translation of Lebanon: Twenty Poems for One Love, both by Nadia Tuéni.
The languages of Rimbaud, Lautréamont and surrealist poetry have had a decisive
influence on Tuéni's work. But she also owes a great debt on the Arabic side
to the Lebanese avant-garde poets who, in turn, influenced by surrealism contributed
to what has been called "a revolution of poetic language." Her work
merges with the poetic and political landscape of her country. Like many Lebanese
writers, Tuéni was active in political circles, particularly after the war in 1967. This book tells of the sufferingmemories of an abandoned garden fading awayand
of a poet at the confluence of two cultures: Western and Middle Eastern.
