Description
Spanning over six decades of Sudan's post-independence history, this collection brings together the work of some of Sudan's most renowned modern poets, largely unknown in the United States. Adil Babikir's introduction provides a conceptual framework to help the English reader understand the cultural context of this diverse and complex poetry. The anthology features a wide range of themes, including identity, love, politics, Sufism, patriotism, war, and philosophy, capturing the evolution of Sudan's modern history and cultural intersections. By bringing these voices together, Babikir provides a unique glimpse into Sudan's poetry scene and the country's modern history and post-independence trajectory.
