- Book Synopsis
- Originally published in 1975, Proximal Morocco- is a collection of poems by Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine written in fits and starts during a span of ten years (1964-1974), during the fever pitch of his political exile from his homeland of Morocco which he fled, partly for fear of political persecution and partly to pursue a literary career in Paris, France. Laced with the same politically-inflected Surrealistic fervor as Aimé Césaire, the book is at once a powerful outcry to fellow artists for international solidarity of the colonized and outcast and a documentation of the pain and struggle of exile.
- About The Author
- Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine (1941-1995) was a Moroccan Amazigh writer and poet. His first book, Agadir (Éditions du Seuil, 1967), was awarded the Jean Cocteau Enfants Terribles Prize. One of the major Francophone avant-garde poets of his generation, Khaïr-Eddine was hailed as the "Rimbaud of the Maghreb" and won renown for his Surrealist-inspired "linguistic guerrilla warfare," which he developed in works such as Corps négatif (1968), Soleil arachnide (1969) Moi l'aigre (1970), and Le Déterreur (1973). With Abdellatif Laâbi and Mostafa Nissabouri, he helped found the avant-garde Moroccan journal Souffles-Anfas before he was compelled to self-exile in 1965. Khaïr-Eddine lived in France until returning to Morocco in 1979. He died in 1995 in Rabat.
