Majallat Shi‘r (Arabic: مجلة شعر), Shi‘r translate to ‘Poetry’ in English, also referred to as ‘Poetry Review’ by some writers – was a professional Avant-garde monthly Journal founded in Beirut in 1957.

Shi‘r was established by Yusuf al-Khal (1917-1987), who had returned from America two years previously, where he had been working at the United Nations as a member of the Lebanese mission. The renowned Syrian poet Adunis (1930) joined him in establishing and editing the magazine, together they issued the first issue in the winter of 1957.

Writers from different disciplines have recognized Shi‘r as one of the main motivating factors that raised the issue of Arabic cultural modernity.

The journal supported experimental literature and became a centre of various types of cultural practice. In the course of time, the activities of the group that were linked to the journal were consolidated in what was called ‘the Shi‘r movement’. The movement defined itself through the involvement of the group and the journal in the issues of cultural modernity, and through its interest in reinforcing modern poetics and experimentation with innovative poetic forms. However, the movement was also associated with other practices derived from its interest in modernity, Western poetry, literary theory, and cultural events around the world. Through the joint efforts of the group, the prose poem gradually occupied a central position in Shi‘r’s project of cultural modernity.

At the core of this group were Yūsuf al-Khāl and Adunis (the pen name of ʿAlī Aḥmad Saʿīd), arguably the most influential figure in modern Arabic poetry. In its radical approach to poetic form (including the prose poem) and its experiments with language and imagery, this group was emblematic of the many new directions that Arabic poetry was to follow in the latter half of the 20th century.

Poets such as the Lebanese Khalīl Ḥawī and the Egyptian Ṣalāḥ ʿAbd al-Ṣabūr, both as well acquainted with the classical canon of Arabic poetry as they were with recent trends in the West, left behind them divans that, like that of al-Sayyāb, are already acknowledged as 20th-century classics of Arabic poetry.
