Summary

Beyond the Barbed Wire is a selection of work by Morocco's Abdellatif Laâbi, who's poetry and literary activism resulted in a decade-long imprisonment. The volume gives a career-spanning overview of Laâbi's poetry, from the late 1960s to the 2010s, with a special emphasis on his prison writings from the 1970s, and includes an extensive interview with the poet. Beyond the Barbed Wire pays testament to the human need to speak in the face of censorship, and shows why Laâbi is more than Morocco's leading poet, but also a guiding cultural and political force
