Habib Tengour (b. Mostaganem, Algeria 1947) is a bicultural poet, sociologist and anthropologist. With some twenty books to date, Tengour is one of the Maghrib’s most important poets and commentators. His work draws upon sources in Maghrbi and Mediterranean culture, history, mythology, religion, and music. He explores Algerian cultural identity between Orient and Occident, especially under the impact of exile and migration.
Pierre Joris (b. Strasbourg, France 1946) is a Luxembourg-American poet and essayist. As Tengour’s primary English translator, Joris calls him ‘one of the Maghrib’s most forceful and visionary poetic voices of the postcolonial era.’ Joris has published over fifty volumes of poetry, essays, and translations, including The University of California Book of North African Literature, which he co-edited with Tengour.
