The Iraqi poet Nazik al-Mala'ika was one of the most important Arab poets of the twentieth century. Over the course of a four-decade career, her contributions to both the theory and the practice of free verse (or tafʿilah) poetry confirmed her position as a pioneer of Arab modernism. Revolt Against the Sun presents a selection of Nazik al-Malaʾika's poetry in English translation for the first time. Bringing together poems from each of her published collections, it traces al-Malaʾika's transformation from a lyrical Romantic poet in the 1940s to a fervently committed Arab nationalist in the 1970s and 1980s. The translations offer both an overview of her life and work and an insight into the political and social realities in the Arab world in the decades following the Second World War. Featuring a comprehensive historical and critical introduction, this bilingual reader reveals this groundbreaking poet's role in transforming the landscape of modern Arabic literature and culture in the twentieth century. It is a key resource for students and teachers of Arabic and world literature, as well as for readers interested in discovering an alternative narrative of modern Iraqi culture.

It is a key resource for students and teachers of Arabic and world literature, as well as for readers interested in discovering an alternative narrative of modern Arab culture. hough Revolt Against the Sun, for example, might seem like a typically Romantic meditation on the beauty of the night, the stars, and the power of poetic inspiration, but in this superb book the poet’s use of political terminology (thawrah, “revolution,” tamarrud, “revolt,” etc.) that in outstanding writing and her insistent, almost defiant tone ask that we read her assumption of the elegiac, nocturnal, and melancholic position (stereotypical for women poets in the Arabic tradition) as a distinctly political act. Spanning from the 1940s until the 1970s and reflecting the arc from romantic to politically committed poetry, the collection is organized chronologically, with a few poems selected from each Mala'ika book, including Night Lover (1947), Shrapnel and Ash (1949), At the Bottom of the Wave (1957), The Moon Tree (1968), For Prayer and Revolution (1978), The Sea Changes Its Colors (1977)., A pioneer of free verse poetry, over the course of a four-decade career, she would publish prolifically and carved out space for herself between old and new, tradition and innovation.
