​

What differentiates Arab poetry from Western poetry? How much has it evolved lately? Has the exotic clothing of the past been removed, and to what extent? Has the acclaimed "Arab Spring" contributed to the evolution of Arabic poetry; the choice of themes, technique and style? Many questions, such as those already formulated, require an answer and it is primarily the task of scholars to classify and evaluate it.

However, what is attempted in the anthology you have at hand is a brief but trustworthy "representation" of its progressive differentiation and evolution in recent years through representative poems I have chosen from a wide range of the Arab world. The poems were chosen for the Greek reader, while those belonging to the younger generation of poets reflect the most significant changes that have taken place in recent years.
