I have just found a blog which is no longer being updated. It is full of links to short films in Arabic. I have added it to my sidebar, but that is not a logical action. Today has not been filled with logic.
Getting a dense book on Arabic prose poetry was not a logical move either. The quickest way to gain from it is to read the notes at the end of each chapter. Actually, there is no hurry, I can read what I want when I want. It is all fine.
The intro to the book is over dense, but I am now reading happily. What a thrill, I think this is exactly what I wanted.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's odd to see what survives events. The beautiful book got left behind, and I search for short films via directors' names on google and Vimeo now. I hardly ever post them here, they go onto draft emails as preparation notes for future monthly series on my facebook group.
ReplyDeleteI remember the author's name, Otared Haidar, and the simple layout of one prose poem, not what we would call a prose poem at all. About 6 lines of different lengths, but not laid out as a paragraph.
