At poetry.UAEHistoryAndCulture.com, we believe that poetry lives and breathes through dialogue, interpretation, and shared discovery. Your scholarly insights, personal connections to specific poems, and creative contributions are vital to our mission of building the most authoritative and dynamic resource for Emirati poetry. This page is designed to facilitate a thoughtful and respectful exchange with our team.
The primary and most efficient method to reach our editorial team is via our dedicated email address: contact@poetry.UAEHistoryAndCulture.com. This inbox is monitored regularly, and we endeavor to respond to all substantive and respectfully framed inquiries within three to five business days. To help us manage and route your query effectively, we kindly request the use of clear and specific subject lines. For example, “Question on the Meter of a Specific Nabati Poem” or “Submission for Contemporary Poet Profile” allows for a prompt and relevant response. We are particularly eager to connect with poets, academic researchers, translators specializing in Arabic literature, and individuals with knowledge of oral poetic traditions and family poetic legacies.
To ensure our collaboration is productive and respectful of intellectual and cultural property, we must outline the scope of our communications. While we read every message with interest, the volume of emails may prevent us from providing detailed, personalized replies to every single one. We welcome suggestions for poets to feature or specific poems to analyze. However, we do not accept unsolicited, pre-written articles or full-text reproductions of copyrighted poetic works without prior permission from the poet or their estate. For partnership proposals from universities, literary festivals, publishing houses, or cultural foundations, please begin your subject line with “Partnership Inquiry:” for a prioritized review. It is crucial to note that we are a critical and educational resource, not a publishing platform for original, unpublished poetry. We focus on the study and appreciation of established works. Furthermore, if you are a copyright holder (poet, publisher, heir) and have concerns about how a poem or translation is presented on our site, please contact us immediately with the specific details. We are committed to honoring the rights of creators while operating within the bounds of fair use for critical and educational purposes.
