Book Description
The desert-dwelling Bedouin have always been a subject of intense fascination. Their culture and ethics are still largely a mystery, both for the peoples with whom they share the Middle-Eastern and African lands, and for those living in the West. Like other non-literate peoples, the Bedouinhave a strong oral tradition and use poetry for many forms of communication and entertainment. Clinton Bailey has spent the last twenty years among the Bedouin of Sinai and the Negev studying their culture and recording their poems as recited around campfires. This book presents the fruit of hiswork: 113 poems reflecting Bedouin attitudes to a variety of personal, social, and political experiences. Each poem is translated into English, appears in Arabic script and transliteration, and is accompanied by an introduction and notes on the cultural, linguistic, and historical background. Thisthorough and original study makes a vital contribution to our knowledge of the Bedouin, and will be of great interest to Arabists, anthropologists, linguists, sociologists, and all those who visit this part of the Arab world.Dr Bailey has has lectured on Bedouin culture and history at various universities, and is a founder of the Museum of Bedouin Culture in the Negev.

Book Description
"'The Mt. Sinai Poems' by Erik Vatne is a short--but densely packed--cycle of ten-line poems written in the form of cryptic notes to an unnamed 'doctor' on various themes that are always at the heart of what Vatne does as a poet or visual artist: love, loss, and language; specifically the way it is used and misused to communicate and express the ineffable and impossible, which are often revealed as codes hidden within the texts and which find expression as sonic and visual keys to these secret heart of poetry and self. This is Vatne's first book since the publication of his highly acclaimed 400+ page book of poems, 'Mormon Heroin', and continues to develop a poetics based on the simple epigraph by Carl Jung, which suggests that every poem--on some level--is an act of erasure--and that it is a 'psychic break' from the consciousness of the poet that once released takes on an autonomous role in the world."
