This remarkable collection of Mahmoud Darwish's poems and prose
meditations is both lyrical and philosophical, questioning and
wise, full of irony and protest and play. "Every beautiful poem is
an act of resistance." As always, Darwish's musings on unrest and
loss dwell on love and humanity; myth and dream are inseparable
from truth. "Truth is plain as day." Throughout the book, Darwish
returns frequently to his ongoing and often lighthearted
conversation with death.
Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008) was awarded the Lannan Prize for
Cultural Freedom in 2001. He was regarded as the voice of the
Palestinian people and one of the greatest poets of our time.
