Drawing on literary, philosophical, theoretical, and theological texts in multiple languages and scripts, as well as on the visual arts, Thomas C. Connolly delves into the poetic works of Khatibi and six other major Maghrebi authors--Jean Amrouche, Tahar Djaout, Nabile Far?s, Mohammed Kha?r-Eddine, Abdelwahab Meddeb, and Jean S?nac--as well as the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, to think anew about the origins and legacy of Francophone poetry in the Maghreb.
