Meena is a literary magazine written in
both Arabic and English. According to the publication's
English-language website, 'The word 'meena' means port, or
port-of-entry, in Arabic, and that is exactly what we would like
Meena to be: a port between our cities, our countries, our
languages, our cultures.' Meena is based in the port
cities of New Orleans and Alexandria, Egypt. ?By a terrible
coincidence, both locations were recently affected by water
disasters: Hurricane Katrina, and a Red Sea ship accident near
Alexandria in which more than 1,000 people died. Meena's
second issue, filled with poetry, prose, essays, an interview, and
visual art, is devoted to water -- not only as a destructive
element but one that connects us all. -- Evelyn
