For countless school children across the country, books that explore the rich cultural heritage of Hispanic-Americans are out of reach.

French publisher Fidel Anthelme X is planning to bring out a bilingual Arabic-French collection by Palestinian poet Dana Flaifl, Tout ce que j’ai c’est l’écriture, avec elle je résiste, translated to the French by Lotfi Nia. The publisher does not have funding for this book, and printing costs are just over €1,000. The book is scheduled for release in January 2026, and the publisher is now offering the book for sale at €10 + €3 shipping (in France), to raise the necessary funds for its publication.

As publication dates often slip — and new books surface — we try to have a glance at what’s really (to the best of our knowledge) coming in translation from Arabic at the start of each month. If you have more books to add, please let us know.

Sze is a poet with a lot of acclaim — he's won the National Book Award, was a Guggenheim fellow and was a finalist for the Pulitzer. He aims to promote interest in translated poetry in his new role.
