More about the book
Focusing on Badr Shakir al-Sayyab, a prominent Iraqi poet, this comprehensive study offers English-speaking readers unprecedented insights into his life and work, including previously untranslated poetry. It contextualizes his writing within the framework of postcolonial resistance to Western dominance, shedding light on lesser-known elements of his poetry and connecting his themes to those of contemporary authors. The book serves as a significant resource for understanding the cultural impact of al-Sayyab in the Arab literary landscape following his untimely death in 1964.
