Darwish (1942-2008), recipient of France s Knight of Arts and
Belles Lettres medal, the Lotus Prize, and the Lannan Foundation
Prize for Cultural Freedom, is widely considered Palestine s most
eminent poet. State of Siege was written while the poet himself was
under siege in Ramallah during the Israeli invasion of 2002. An
eloquent and impassioned response to political extremity, the
collection was published to great acclaim in the Arab world. Akash
and Moore s translation, including an introduction by Akash
exploring the rich mythology of these poems, presents the first
book-length, bilingual edition of State of Siege to an English
audience.
