Synopsis


The Iraqi poet Nazik al-Malaika was one of the most important Arab poets of the twentieth century. A pioneer of free verse poetry, over four decades, she transformed the landscape of modern Arabic literature and culture.


Revolt Against the Sun presents a selection of Nazik al Malaika's poetry in English translation for the first time. Bringing together poems from each of her published collections, it traces al-Malaika's transformation from a lyrical Romantic poet in the 1940s to a fervently committed Arab nationalist in the 1970s and 1980s.


The translations offer both an overview of her life and work, and an insight into the political and social realities in the Arab world in the decades following the Second World War.

Her poetic theories influenced poets in her native Iraq and beyond, reaching as far as Amman, Beirut, Cairo, and Algiers.
