Summary

The 2023 Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation, curated by the Banipal Trust, selects works that explore ongoing atrocities through poetic vision. This shortlist ensures that voices remain active in a landscape where historical narratives often get buried in silence. The award-winning collection from the Tent Generations comprises poetry by 16 Palestinian poets spanning seventy years. These verses weave together the complex histories of Palestinian life under Israel's military rule and occupation, including the devastating Nakba of 1948. The anthology also captures the displacement and exile experienced during the wars of 1967 and 1973. By focusing on these foundational struggles, the selection offers readers a comprehensive historical context needed to truly understand the pain and resilience of the Palestinian experience.
