'Abd al-Rahman Abnudi (b. 1938) is an Egyptian poet, whose production includes al-Mawt 'ala al-asfalt. He was one of a generation of poets who wrote their work in the Egyptian dialect rather than in Classical Arabic, the standard literary language. This literary stance was associated with a militant political engagement: Abnoudi and other writers of this school sought to make their literary production part of the process of development and movement towards popular democracy in Egypt.
