In & Out of Time

By Lamia Makaddam

A translation from a Tunisian poet, whose work seeks to provoke, liberate, and inspire.

Lamia Makaddam's In & Out of Time is her latest collection translated to English, distinguished by a raw, unvarnished language that seeks to name things directly and without evasion. The poems often employ striking, sometimes shocking imagery, marked by a boldness in their treatment of intimate details that draw on the tradition of confessional poetry.

Makaddam's work is at times metapoetic, reflecting on language itself and on the creative process of writing. Her poems range across emotional and erotic themes, as well as subjects related to women's concerns and their multiple roles within the home, in public life, and in the literary sphere.
