| Description | "Near East Review, published biannually in English, is a challenging new forum for international poetry and literature, from the Middle East and beyond, featuring work by contemporary award-winning poets as well as articles, interviews, translations, essays and reviews. Leading writers from around the world assess, reassess and debate voices old and new, reputations lost and found, in a unique meeting of literatures from East and West. In poetry Near East Review expressly aims to counterpoise contemporary Middle Eastern poetries -- in translation -- with those of Europe, North America, and the rest of the world, in a unique context of dialogue and exchange. Critical commentary is a vital part of this conversation, and we give emphasis to creative, challenging critical discussion, in essays characterised by style and accessibility. With our informed and eclectic section of 'books in review,' we again place a firm accent on World Poetries and, in particular, literature of the Middle Eastern region. Here we emphasise 'literature' in the broadest sense, to include writings on Philosophy, Cultural Studies, History, Film, Music, and the Visual Arts." |
