Professor Fakhreddine's book, "The Arabic Prose Poem: Poetic Theory and Practice" launches this week! It examines one of the most controversial poetic forms in Arabic: the Arabic prose poem. It also explores:
- The ‘new genre’ of the prose poem as a poetic practice and as a critical lens
- A case-study approach to a number of poets, including: Adonis, Muhammad al-Maghut, Salim Barakat, Mahmoud Darwish and Wadi Saʿadeh
- A comparative approach across time periods, genres, identity and cultural traditions
