Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Pp-30-500 Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox person Fadwa Tuqan (Шаблон:Lang-ar, also transliterated in Шаблон:Lang-es, Шаблон:Lang-fr; 1917 – 12 December 2003) was a Palestinian poet known for her representations of resistance to Israeli occupation in contemporary Arab poetry. She has sometimes been referred to as the "Poet of Palestine".[1][2]
Overview
Born in Nablus to the wealthy Palestinian Tuqan family known for their accomplishments in many fields, she received schooling until age 13 when she was forced to quit school at a young age due to illness. One of her brothers, Ibrahim Tuqan, known as the Poet of Palestine, took responsibility of educating her, gave her books to read and taught her English. He was also the one who introduced her to poetry.[3] Tuqan eventually attended Oxford University, where she studied English and literature.[3]
Fadwa Tuqan's eldest brother is Ahmad Toukan, former prime minister of Jordan.
Tuqan's poetry is known for her distinctive chronicling of the suffering of her people, the Palestinian, particularly those living under Israeli occupation.[3] She contributed a Bahraini progressive journal, Sawt al-Bahrain, in the early 1950s.[4]
Tuqan eventually published eight poetry collections, which were translated into many languages and enjoy renown throughout the Arab World.[3] Her book, Alone With the Days, focused on the hardships faced by women in the male-dominated Arab world.[3] After the Six-Day War, Tuqan's poetry focused on the hardships of living under the Israeli occupation. One of her best known poems, "The Night and the Horsemen," described life under Israeli military rule.
Tuqan died on 12 December 2003 during the height of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, while her hometown of Nablus was under siege.[1][5] The poem Wahsha: Moustalhama min Qanoon al Jathibiya (Longing: Inspired by the Law of Gravity) was one of the last poems she penned while largely bedridden.[1]
Tuqan is widely considered a symbol of the Palestinian cause and "one of the most distinguished figures of modern Arabic literature."[1][3] Her poetry is set by Mohammed Fairouz in his Third Symphony.[6]
