Focusing on the works of three prominent poets, Iraqi ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Bayātī (1926-1999), Egyptian Aḥmad ʿAbd al-Muʿṭī Ḥijāzī (b. 1935), and Palestinian Maḥmūd Darwīsh (1941-2008), Athamneh argues that political changes in the modern Arab world--including the 1967 war and the fall of Nasserism, the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and, in Ḥijāzī's case, the 2011 Arab Uprising and its aftermath--inspired transitions and new directions in these poets' works. Enhanced by Athamneh's original translations of a number of the Arabic texts discussed, as well as translations published previously, \u003ci\u003eModern Arabic Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e brings these poets fully into the purview of contemporary literary, political, and critical discourse. It argues that their individual responses to political changes proceed in three distinct directions: the metapoetic, in which the poet disengages from the poetry of political commitment to find inspiration in artistic (self-)exploration; the recommitted, in which new political revolutions inspire the poet to resume writing and publishing poetry; and the humanist, in which the poet comes to terms of coexistence with permanent or unresolved conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Waed Athamneh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268101541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWaed Athamneh\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of Arabic studies at Connecticut College.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39946333454451,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8f7d52c4-c4e8-4385-8114-8872859d7873.jpg?v=1648314449","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/modern-arabic-poetry-revolution-and-conflict-9780268101541","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
