Proximal Morocco, Paperback by Khaïr-eddine, Mohammed; Syersak, Jake (TRN), ISBN 1946604089, ISBN-13 9781946604088, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US A collection of visceral, anti-colonial poetry from the Maghreb region of North Africa that is as indebted to Surrealism as it is to Negritude. Originally published in 1975, Proximal Morocco-- is a collection of poems by Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine written in fits and starts during a span of 10 years (1), during the fever pitch of his political exile from his homeland of Morocco which he fled, partly for fear of political persecution and partly to pursue a literary career in Paris, France. Laced with the same politically-inflected Surrealistic fervor as Aimé Césaire, th is at once a powerful outcry to fellow artists for international solidarity of the colonized and outcast and a documentation of the pain and struggle of exile. "Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine is a poetic force, and Jake Syersak's unrelenting, uncompromising translation brings one of his most alivs crashing into English 'in the likeness of thunder.'"-- Emma Ramadan Poetry. Middle Eastern Studies. Translation.
