Can a poem be topical twice?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"From<\/a>

From the cover of Adonis\u2019s Selected Poems<\/i>.<\/p><\/div>\n

The speaker of \u201cElegy for the Times<\/a>\u201d\u2014a long prose poem by the Syrio-Lebanese poet Adonis, a master of Arabic verse\u2014is not an \u201cI\u201d but a \u201cwe,\u201d an anonymous collective that travels through a nightmarish landscape of tombstones, locusts, and sand. The journey is what the ancient Greeks called a catabasis<\/em>, a descent from the interior to the coast, \u201cthe sea\u2019s abyss.\u201d Adonis\u2019s \u201cwe\u201d is a community in flight, but the end of the poem suggests that the sea may offer no escape, or that it may be the final, most harrowing obstacle.<\/p>\n

The poem, which I translated for our Summer issue<\/a>, is visionary in scope, yet attentive to haunting details: the light glinting off a helmet, the stains of sweat on a dancer\u2019s loincloth. Beyond the controlled hysteria of its images, I was drawn to the poem because it seems to have leaped from today\u2019s headlines, conjuring the civil war in Syria and the vast migrations it has provoked. The scale of this ongoing tragedy defies the imagination, yet Adonis\u2019s elegy is one of those rare works that aligns with Seamus Heaney\u2019s definition of poetry: \u201ca search for images and symbols adequate to our predicament.\u201d (Heaney was thinking of Ireland\u2019s own time of troubles.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Adonis\u2019s poem actually has nothing to do with the predicament of present-day Syria\u2014or at least, it wasn\u2019t inspired by current events. \u201cElegy\u201d was written more than fifty years ago, on a wholly different occasion. The first version of the poem was published in Arabic in 1958, the year Egypt and Syria merged to become the United Arab Republic (a prelude, some hoped, to wider Arab unification). Adonis thought this experiment was a dangerous folly. His poem imagines the union as an Egyptian invasion followed by a mass exodus of Syrians toward the Mediterranean Sea. Three years later, the UAR collapsed and Adonis rewrote his poem (I\u2019ve translated this later version) in a way that disguised its original inspiration: there is nothing in the revised poem about Egyptians, and there is little to suggest a specific time or place. This suppression of details makes it easier to imagine the poem as belonging to the present. Adonis\u2019s poem bears witness to a tragedy that never happened, until it did.<\/p>\n

\"Adonis.\"<\/a>

Adonis.<\/p><\/div>\n

The original version of \u201cElegy\u201d was arguably the first prose poem written in Arabic. It was published in the Fall 1958 issue of Shi\u2018r <\/em>(Poetry), a quarterly that served as the house organ for Beirut\u2019s literary avant-garde (it was named after Harriet Monroe\u2019s venerable, Chicago-based magazine). It isn\u2019t easy to convey to English-language readers how controversial the prose poem was in the Middle East when it first emerged in the late 1950s. For more than fourteen hundred years, the great majority of Arabic verse was written in one of sixteen classical meters; many contemporaries did not believe Adonis\u2019s prose poems were \u201cpoems\u201d at all. They viewed the genre as a foreign\u2014and specifically French\u2014affectation.<\/p>\n

There was something to this. At the same time he was writing \u201cElegy,\u201d Adonis was translating the po\u00e8mes en prose <\/em>of the Guadeloupe-born, French poet and diplomat St.-John Perse (once among the most imitated and widely translated poets in the world, now strangely ignored). In 1957, a year before writing his \u201cElegy,\u201d Adonis translated a long section of Perse\u2019s Seamarks<\/em>, a book-length prose poem in which a chorus of speakers descends from the city to the shore, chanting their praise of the sea. As opposed to the shorter, better known po\u00e8mes en prose <\/em>of Baudelaire, almost invariably set in contemporary Paris, Perse\u2019s prose poems are typically long, indeterminate in their time and setting, and ceremonious in their diction. Adonis\u2019s \u201cElegy\u201d is very much in this vein. It challenged Arab readers to think about what the boundaries of poetry really are, and to ask whether poems, like peoples, are not essentially migrants.<\/p>\n

I hope my repatriation of the \u201cElegy\u201d into English may help it speak to our own times.<\/p>\n
