Book Synopsis
Huda J. Fakhreddine explores the 'new genre' of the Arabic prose poem as a poetic practice and a critical lens. Fakhreddine examines the history of the prose poem, its claims of autonomy and distance from its socio-political context, and the anxiety and scandal it generated.

Trade Review
"Huda Fakhreddine has given us a splendid apologia of modern Arabic poetry's decisive step into the future. Her impeccable critical voice brims with validating avant-garde conviction as she reveals the fascinating drama of a series of tensing manifestos of a new Arabic poetic modernism. The Arabic Prose Poem will remain as a milestone in Arabic literary critical studies." -Jaroslav Stetkevych, Professor Emeritus of Arabic Literature, The University of Chicago
