Time Between Ashes & Roses

More about the book

Through three profound long poems, the anthology delves into the complexities of the human experience, intertwining themes of language, love, race, faith, and war. Adonis draws inspiration from iconic poets, reinterpreting their works while reflecting on Arab defeat and the socio-political landscape of Vietnam-era America. This bilingual edition presents the original Arabic alongside English translations, complemented by an afterword and a critical bibliography. A foreword by Nasser Rabbat enhances its significance for students and scholars of modern and Middle Eastern poetry.
