Abstract

Early in 1993 the Arab press carried the news that Nazik al-Mala'ika was dead.
Letters of condolence started to pour in at her home address in Baghdad, and it is even reported that obituaries appeared in some Arabic newspapers
mourning the death of one of the most highly accomplished poets in the second
half of this century. A few days later friends and admirers of Nazik al-Mala'ika
heaved a sigh of great relief when it transpired that the news of her death was
false and that she was still alive and well.
