With these poems Zaqtan enters new terrain, illuminating the vision of what Arabic poetry in general and Palestinian poetry in particular are capable of. Departing from the lush aesthetics of such celebrated predecessors as Mahmoud Darwish and Adonis, Zaqtan's daily, delicate narrative, whirling catalogues, and at times austere aesthetics represent a new trajectory, a significant leap for young Arabic poets today.In his preface to the volume, Joudah analyzes and explores the poet's body of work. "Ghassan Zaqtan's poems, in their constant unfolding," Joudah writes, "invite us to enter them, exit them, map and unmap them, code and decode them, fill them up and empty them, with the living and nonliving, the animate and inanimate, toward a true freedom." 410 0$aMargellos world republic of letters book. 606 $aArabic poetry 606 $aMiddle Eastern poetry 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArabic poetry. 615 0$aMiddle Eastern poetry. 676 $a892.7/16 700 $aZaqt?a?n$b Ghassa?n$01043450 701 $aJoudah$b Fady$f1971-$01043451 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461638403321 996 $aLike a straw bird it follows me and other poems$92468431 997 $aUNINA
