Paperback. This collection presented me with a particularly delicate task. The poems are rooted deeply in the Arabic language, in its richness, its suggestiveness, its wordplay, and its capacity to hold several shades of meaning within a single expression. Their imagery often moves between the intimate and the universal, between love and longing, woman and man, memory and forgetting, language and identity, rebellion and poetry. To translate such poetry is therefore to enter into a dialogue with both the poet and the language from which the poems were born. My aim in this translation has been to remain as close as possible to the original text while preserving its poetic character. I have tried not to replace the poet's images with more familiar English ones, nor to smooth away expressions merely because they may sound unusual in English. Where the Arabic deliberately leaves an image open, I have sought to leave it open; where the language carries ambiguity, I have tried to preserve that ambiguity rather than impose a single interpretation upon it. At the same time, a literal translation can sometimes conceal rather than reveal the meaning of a poem. For this reason, I have allowed myself the necessary degree of poetic adjustment whenever it was required for the English reader to hear something of the original voice. The objective has never been to rewrite the poems in English, but to let them speak in another language without losing their identity. Particular attention has been given to Arabic expressions, cultural references, grammatical terms, linguistic wordplay, and images whose significance may not be immediately apparent to readers unfamiliar with Arabic literature and culture. Where necessary, numbered notes have been added to clarify such references. These notes are intended as bridges rather than explanations that close the meaning of the poem. The poem itself remains the primary voice. Some Arabic words carry meanings that cannot be fully contained by a single English equivalent. In such cases, I have sometimes retained the Arabic term, or given a close rendering accompanied by a brief note. This approach is especially important when the poet draws upon the history of Arabic language, classical expressions, religious or cultural allusions, or the musical qualities of particular words and letters. The challenge becomes even greater when the poem itself reflects upon language. In these moments, a word is not simply a word; its sound, letter, root, grammatical form, or association may become part of the poem's meaning. Such instances have required me to preserve the linguistic feature as faithfully as possible and, where needed, to make its significance accessible to the English reader through a note. I have also sought to preserve the architecture of the original poems: their line breaks, pauses, repetitions, fragments, questions, ellipses, and sudden transitions. These are not merely visual arrangements. They are part of the movement of the poetic voice. I have therefore resisted the temptation to regularize the poems or make them conform too closely to conventional English poetic structures. The poems gathered here speak in voices that are at once tender and rebellious. They contemplate love without reducing it to sentiment, speak of woman and man through multiple dimensions, confront memory and absence, question the self, celebrate language, and return repeatedly to poetry as a space of resistance and renewal. The translator, ultimately, remains between two languages. Too great a distance from the original risks losing the poet's voice; too great a dependence on the original may prevent the English reader from entering the poem. This translation has been an attempt to remain within that difficult, fertile space between fidelity and poetic life.
