Other paths for Shahrazad : an Arabic/English anthology of contemporary poetry by Arab women
2026
Book
A bilingual anthology of contemporary poetry by forty women poets from eleven Arab nations. A project of the Her Story Is (HSI) collective, led by Iraqi and American women writers and artists, Other Paths for Shahrazad features poems curated by the Iraqi contingent of HSI. Each poem was co-translated by HSI members and collaborators from Iraq. Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Canada, and the United States. The anthology is arranged so that the poems are in dialogue with each other, rather than separated into stark sections according to theme, region, or author, so that the reader experiences it as they experience a standard collection of poetry: as a potent journey, as poems speaking to poems.
