Title: From the Warring Factions
Description: Beyond Baroque Books 2002, Paperback. . 1892184109 0.6 x 6.8 x 4.5 Inches; 211 pages; From Publishers WeeklyDedicated to Srebrenica, site of the massacre of over 7,000 people in 1995 during the war in the former Yugoslavia, this fifth collection from poet, translator, and critic Alcalay (After Jews and Arabs: Remaking Levantine Culture) is an assembled epic of polyvocal documentation. Stating a desire to "re-awaken the ancient force of poetry as fact and testimony" in an accompanying interview with poet Benjamin Hollander, Alcalay has produced textual tapestry incorporating a startlingly broad array of materials (from Shelley's "Revolt of Islam" to excerpts from Saddam Hussein's fiction). Fine.
