Maram Al-Masri Books

Maram al-Masri is a poet whose work is characterized by direct, unadorned writing with an emphasis on the quotidian. Her poetry employs simple, almost child-like metaphors that sharply contrast with the conventions of traditional Arabic love poetry. Al-Masri writes unreservedly about sexuality and love, lending her verses a fresh, unexpected quality. Her works, primarily in Arabic but often with a French dimension, explore themes of love, freedom, and social injustice with unflinching honesty.
