Tasnim Qutait: Arab Poetry in Transition

"Similarly, although less sympathetically, Syrian poet and critic Nouri Jarah points out that many poets rushed into translation are often "transformed from individuals fleeing repression into individuals benefiting from repression." In such a situation, being granted political asylum has more influence on translation than the merit of the poetry.

And this poet is then assumed to be the best a certain culture has to offer. Because no one else has been translated."
