Poetry. Middle Eastern studies. Translated from the French by the author. Reprinted with a new foreward by Jalal Toufic. "This book, a masterwork of the dislocations and radiant outcries of the Arab world, reaffirms Etel Adnan, who authored the great poem, Jebu, as among the foremost poets of the French Language. THE ARAB APOCALYPSE is an immersion into a rapture of chaos clawing towards destiny, and nullified hope refusing its zero. Is is also the journey of soul through the cartography of a global immediacy rarely registered by maps, replete with signposts like hieroglyphs in a storm of shrapnel and broken glass. And above all it is a book that, though capable of being read in its orderly sequence, has so surrendered to 'being there,' it can rivet the sensibility to the Middle Eastern condition at any point in the text--so rapid are its mutations, so becoming its becomingness--like a wisdom book or a book of Changes"--Jack Hirschman.
"It has a power and intensity that few poets today can muster—only Allen Ginsberg's Howl comes to mind."—Alice Molloy
"The power of Adnan's language and imagery reminds us that she is indeed one of the most significant post-modern poets in contemporary Arab culture."—Kamal Boullatta
"THE ARAB APOCALYPSE is, to date, Adnan's most triumphant battle with the exactness of words."—Douglas Powell
"The poem invokes a mythic past of Gilgamesh, Tammouz, and Ishtar to presage a present that resists narration, THE ARAB APOCALYPSE contests an uncritical reflection on the immediate historical past."—Barbara Harlow

Review
"The Arab Apocalypse is a catastrophic poem of cosmic disorder, whose very composition is radically disjointed...The primordial chaos of the opening sections takes horrifying shape as the poem develops, finding form first in dismembered humanity and acquiring historical reality as the city of Beirut first, then the Palestinian refugee camp Tell Zaatar are delineated through cataclysmic referencing...The Arab Apocalypse contests an uncritical refection on the immediate historical past..." --Barbara Harlow, American Book Review
The Arab Apocalypse is, to date, Adnan's most triumphant battle with the exactness of words. --Poetry Flash

About the Author
Etel Adnan was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1925, the daughter of a Greek Christian from Smyrna and a high- ranking Ottoman officer from Damascus. Her work as a whole is a faithful record of the times and places she has lived in Beirut, Paris, and in the San Francisco Bay Area. At least eighteen works by Adnan have been published in English. They include SITT MARIE ROSE (Post-Apollo Press, 1982); THE ARAB APOCALYPSE (Post-Apollo Press, 1989); SEA AND FOG (Nightboat Books, 2012), winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Poetry and the California Book Award for Poetry; and PREMONITION (Kelsey Street Press, 2014). Nightboat Books published the 2-volume set, TO LOOK AT THE SEA IS TO BECOME WHAT ONE IS: AN ETEL ADNAN READER, in 2014. In 2011, Adnan received Small Press Traffic's Lifetime Achievement Award. Her paintings, described by New York Times art critic Roberta Smith as "stubbornly radiant abstractions," have been widely exhibited, most recently at Documenta 13 and in the 2014 Whitney Biennial. Spanning media and genres, Adnan's writings have led to numerous collaborations with artists and musicians, including the French part of CIVIL WarS, a multi-language opera by American stage director Robert Wilson, performed in Lyon and Bobigny in 1985.

the Post-Apollo edition is a magnificent demonstration of poetry and publishing for a pittance.
By G. T. Bysshe
Elsewhere Etel Adnan has written already two decades ago: T.E. Lawrence was the total embodiment, and consumption by fire, of the English Colonialist actions in the Middle East of his time.
By this all of the subsequent actions ("beacon-on-the hill etc.) taken by US representatives Reagan and 2 Bush's could be seen to have ignored the region's truths, so many of the objectives of the Iraq War not having been accomplished.
Etel Adnan has spoken on Beirut. She makes Derrida's flight from Algeria to Paris look like an abandonment.
Etel Adnan has spoken on Palestine and the Palestinian.
Etel Adnan speaks in English in this book, despite its having been published in French originally. Etel's French version is not the searching language of the "French poets." Rather, her English shows more insight for this text, and the Post-Apollo edition is a magnificent demonstration of poetry and publishing for a pittance ($20). Who sells their copy of City Lights "Howl" by Ginsberg? no one. Adnan's "The Arab Apocalypse" is the same.
Etel Adnan speaks on the Sun and the Arab (59 verses) in this Arab book,
XV:
"In the halls of the sun we manufactured virulent religions
We burned still-born children HOU! HOU! the solar goddess!
The brain is a sun STOP the sun is an eye!
"Each nuclear explosion blooms into a sun-brain like a flower !
…
"Arabs are dancing in the dust DOUM ! the Tribe is delirious
the yellow sun children's toy in the shanty-towns is eating the sea
Each bullet is a ball planted in the brain YES !
XVI:
"Light comes on horse-back crosses the desert bathes the city
there is a paradise inside the yellow sun towards which the refugee is walking
"There is a refuge only in death there is no refuge but in fire "
Jack Hirschman has said Etel Adnan's ( orig.: L'apocalypse arabe. Paris: Papyrus Editions, 1980) is "a nullified hope refusing its zero." She speaks for all Arabs and all others, she is a voice of navigation in the world without choosing sides. She attempts to give literature the ability to speak truth where there seemingly is none.
After "Apocalypse" Etel Adnan wrote (now prophetic) already two decades ago (paraphrased): "[I write]…with the belief that all the things we [have written] are of serious importance, although knowing well with all the current change all things we do or say will be totally obsolete before the century's end..but let us not sink into depression.. we have to distill our anguish and spill it with much care on all kinds of surfaces until the hour of total incapacity."

This is an epic length prose poetry. We read ...
By Richard Mayer
This is an epic length prose poetry. We read it aloud as a class in a summer workshop. I suggest you study the author's background before diving in. Alot of what is said is generically applicable to all fallout of wars, while some is particular. On the whole, I think reading it in a group with an ongoing discussion made it a lot more accessible than it would have been otherwise.
