Nada Ghosn and Paulina Spiechowicz (eds.)
Kaph Books - 35.00€ -  out of stock

This anthology presents a selection of over 100 texts by some sixty contemporary Lebanese women poets, reflecting the plurality of voices that tell, each in their own way, to the many facets of the same country. The trilingual book (in English, French and Arabic), edited by Nada Ghosn et Paulina Spiechowicz, published after four years of research, is accompanied by artworks from Etel Adnan, Laure Ghorayeb, Huguette Caland, Afaf Zurayk, Manar Ali Hassan, and Jana Eid.

During these troubled times that Lebanon is going through, the anthology of contemporary Lebanese women poets aims to give a voice to those underrepresented in literary studies and the art world alike.

This poetry book aims at carving a path made of a plurality of voices: around sixty poets and over one hundred texts that tell, each in its own way, the many facets of a single country, like a kinetic atlas, a lyrical fresco carried by reading, traveling, translating, and contemporary art in the broadest sense.
