>"An astonishing, huge accomplishment! This anthology, beginning with 
>Nathalie Handal's large and nuanced opening essay, demolishes stereotypes and 
>allows the whole world to see and hear the powerful complexity and longing 
>that these poets so memorably articulate. Here we may meet and marvel at 83 
>Arab women poets... from the visionary, elder Lebanese poet Etel Adnan, to 
>the Lebanese American young poet Dima Hilal... this is an incredible, 
>international gathering of Arab women poets writing from the first quarter of 
>the 20th century through now..."
