About this book

Why poetry now—in an age of fear, hunger, betrayal and political violence? Mamdouh Adwan answers by treating poetry as a form of resistance to humiliation, triviality and intellectual surrender. These essays combine a poet’s personal reflections with a critic’s engagement with language, form and the social role of art. Poetic Obsessions argues that poetry matters precisely when reality appears least hospitable to it, because the poem can still say ‘no’ with clarity and force.
