ArabLit Quarterly: Spring 2023: RAIN

ArabLit Quarterly: Spring 2023: RAIN

RAIN IS a blessing and a curse, a source of sustenance and danger, beauty and annoyance. In this issue we honor the many faces of the rain -- and of its attraction and repulsion of its rhythms and power for poets, short-story writers, and anonymous supplicators.

Salma Harland illustrates its importance for the latter in “Making It Rain Deities in Pre-Islamic Arabia," while a wide range of poets address the driving power of the Moroccan-Dutch poet Nisrine Mbarki, Palestinian-French poet Olivia Elias, Saudi poets Ashjan Hendi and Muhammad Al-Turki, and Bahraini poet Wael Almahdi, who writes back to one of the most well-known poems about the rain, Badr Shakir al-Sayyab's unforgettable "Rain Song." They are translated by Michele Hutchison, Salma Harland, Jérémy Robert, and Moneera Al-Ghadeer.

We have short stories by the award-winning Egyptian writers Naguib Mahfouz , translated by Simon Leese, and Mohammed Makhzangi , translated by Enas El-Torky -- in addition to the stories shortlisted for the 2022 ArabLit Story Prize.

We also have two gorgeous works of art -- illustrated poetry by the Kuwaiti artist Zahra Marwan -- and a short graphic novel illustrating children's rhymes collected by Bahraini poet Muhammad Ali Al-Nasiri.

Let it rain, but let it not wash us away!
