A bilingual anthology of contemporary poetry by forty women poets from eleven Arab nations.

A project of the Her Story Is (HSI) collective, led by Iraqi and American women writers and artists, Other Paths for Shahrazad features poems curated by the Iraqi contingent of HSI. Each poem was cotranslated by HSI members and collaborators from Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Canada, and the United States.

The anthology is arranged so that the poems are in dialogue with each other, rather than separated into stark sections according to theme, region, or author, so that the reader experiences it as they experience a standard collection of poetry: as a potent journey, as poems speaking to poems.

Contributors include Muna Alaasi, Laila Alahdab, Marwa Abo Daif, Omaima Abd Shafy, Samia Abdulrahman, Violette Abu Jalad, Huda Aldaghfaq, Hanaa Ahmed, Souzan Ali, Huda Almubark, Iman Alsebaiy, Samira Baghdadi, Salwa ben Rhouma, Fatima Bennis, Suzanne Chakaroun, Mejda Dhahri, Rasha Fadhil, Hannan Haddad, Susana Hajjar, Jackleen Salam, Salma Abdul Hussein al-Harba, Faleeha Hassan, Azhar Ali Hussein, Asmaa Hussin, Ataf Janem, Nadia Al-Katib, Nesrin Ekram Khoury, Dima Mahmod, Hoda AbdelKader Mahmoud, Fatima Mansor, Zakia Al-Marmuq, Eman Masrweh, Raghda Mostafa, Nermeen Al Mufti, Khawla Jasim Alnahi, Amira Salameh, Layla Al Sayed, Sumia al Shaybani, Zizi Shosha, Mariam Soliman, and Elham Nasser Al-Zabedy.
