\"http:\/\/www.lavenderink.org\/loakira\/loakira.jpg\"<\/a>In one\u00a0\"\"of his earliest publications Mohamed Loakira<\/a> wrote: “The founding space of [my] predilection for writing was, without question, the Jamaa el Fna in Marrakech<\/a>. This is where, as a child, I learned not to dissociate the voices, rhythms, colors, smells of country cuisine.” Those who have visited the Fna (main square) and souks of Marrakech can attest to the social intensity of the experience. The crush of food and textile vendors hawking their wares in Arabic, French and Spanish, snake charmers and tattoo artists (I was naive tourist enough to have a henna pattern applied to my bald head) is a feast of sensations, which might help to explain Loakira’s desire\u00a0to “decompartmentalise modes of writing, seeking fusion, cohabitation and dialogue between the various forms of expression, including my poetry, Moroccan painting, music and the aesthetics of silence.” And one might add politics to these modes of writing, as Loakira<\/a> has always been active in post-colonial politics in both Morocco and France.<\/p>\n

Among Loakira’s<\/a> numerous books of poetry and novels, Di\u00e1logos is proud to be the first to bring a complete volume of his poems into English with publication of Peter Thompson’s<\/a> translation of \u2026and the spring is veiled over (<\/em>\u2026et se voile le printemps).<\/i><\/a> The Spring of the title is, at one level, the wave of demonstrations and revolts that swept North Africa<\/a> and the Middle East in 2010 that came to be called Arab Spring<\/a>, and the book is both a celebration of the revolutionary spirit and hope that swept the region for that brief moment and a lament for its ultimate failure.<\/p>\n

\n

Could this be dawn\u2019s birth, a cloud-piercing,
\ntinted by flashes at the wide transoms.
\nA dream of what\u2019s possible, so it seems, set free
\nand a route reshaped for sharing?
\n\u2026\u00a0
\n[or]
\nMight it be bitter miscarriage,
\ninsomnia\u2019s rough-draft
\nor simply more of current events? (25)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The book pivots on actual or implied or’s, as the alternative conjunction infects every poem like the turn of an English sonnet.<\/p>\n

Today we present one of the poems (untitled, pages 52-3 in the text) read in both English and French by Peter Thompson<\/a>. And, today only, we are offering the book at half price<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or am I forced to endow excess,
\nassassinate my hopes\u2019 dream of rebirth,
\nstrangling the future with both hands\u2026<\/p>\n

Or bend my back under the glosses of preachers
\nand other exegetes
\nmutter only in my own silence
\nwhile blood flows from the eyes of the partisan dreamer\u2026<\/p>\n

Or await in my retiring
\nthe echo of the explosion
\nand powder the bloodletting with salt that has lost its savor.<\/p>\n

There is only unlawful taking, flagellations, amputations,
\nabductions, ransoms,
\ndevastation, blood and fire.<\/p>\n

And may the litany of heresies drone on!<\/p>\n
