Google\u2019s doodle today celebrates Nazik al-Malaika, on the occasion of the 88th<\/sup> anniversary of her birthday. The famous Iraqi\u00a0poet is known as one of the first Arabic poets\u00a0to use\u00a0free verse<\/a>. As\u00a0Salih J. Altoma<\/a> puts it:<\/p>\n

Nazik al-Mala\u2019ika occupies a prominent position in modern Arabic literature not only because of her innovative, experimental poetry, but also because of her well-known systematic critical efforts and her views toward important artistic, linguistic, and intellectual issues in modern Arabic literature. Since the publication of her first collection, The Lover of Night (Ashiqat al-Layl, 1947), al-Mala\u2019ika has contributed toward transforming Arabic poetry in terms of its orientation and structure. This is reflected equally in her own poetry and in her critical theorization of the new poetic form known as free verse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adab has a\u00a0collection<\/a> of some of her poems in Arabic. \u00a0Her poems in English can be found in anthologies including The Poetry of Arab Women: A Contemporary Anthology<\/em>, edited by Nathalie Handal and\u00a0Modern Arabic Poetry: An Anthology<\/em> edited by\u00a0Salma Khadra Jayyusi, as well as\u00a0 Iraqi Poetry Today <\/em>edited by\u00a0Weissbort, Daniel and Saadi Simawe, where she is\u00a0\u00a0represented here by five poems.<\/p>\n
