Amman: A new book titled 'Reclaiming Poetry: From the Early Fathers to the New Millennium' has been published, encapsulating a wealth of research from a symposium held in Jordan. This collaborative effort between the Sultan Bin Ali Al Owais Cultural Foundation and the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation brings together a collection of research papers that delve into the evolution and modern trends of Arabic poetry.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the book features contributions from notable critics and scholars such as Subhi Hadidi, Dr. Fatima Qandil, Dr. Jamal Muqabala, Dr. Habib Bouhrour, and several others. Spanning 390 pages, the publication provides an extensive array of sources and references, making it a pivotal resource for researchers focused on modern Arabic poetry.

The publication is part of a broader series of symposia organized by the Al Owais Foundation, which seeks to engage with both Arab and international cultural institutions. The symposium aimed to foster cultural dialogue and examination among poets and critics across the Arab world, discussing trends, comparing poetic expressions across cultures, and aligning with contemporary modernist views.

The 'Reclaiming Poetry' symposium emphasized the need for a contemporary understanding of poetry's value, beyond the confines of traditional conference settings. By compiling the symposium's proceedings into this publication, the organizers aim to provide a valuable reference that can guide further exploration and critique of modern Arabic poetry, its evolution, and its role in contemporary culture.
