I searched pretty much for contemporary Arab poetry. Not always the result has been pleasing. This time I found it at lest interesting.
At this website I found a lot of egyptian literature. I enjoyed this poem of a young poet.
Rana al-Tonsi
A Rose for the Last Days
Rana al-Tonsi
On one foot
like a humiliated beggar I limp
past all the swinging doors
and the flags that are taken down from their masts . . .
The sidewalk was never my friend
but it embraced me those times (more…)
