The Arab Apocalypse (L'Apocalypse arabe) is a book-length poem by Etel Adnan. It was first published in French by Papyrus in Paris in 1980, and Adnan's English translation was published by Post-Apollo Press in 1989. Critics have described the work as a hybrid or visual poem and as a work of witness shaped by the Lebanese Civil War.
