ENGC51H3 Lecture : Tuesday March 11- Arab poetry.docx
Document Summary
Tuesday march 11, 2014- arab poetry: etel adnan post war of lebanon, her work. Her poetry is about embracing chaos as part of reality: my body is not your battleground about triumph and battle, she is not about loss and defiance, she wants to avoid being pigeonholed somewhere. My breasts do not want to leave revolutions, she is claiming them. They are hers and she is free to do anything, she does not want to have a label on them. Someone claiming her own entity, as a symbol of her own freedom: using religious terminology to talk about something personal, religious vs. secular.
