In this sumptuous, expansive new collection -- featuring new translations, for the first time, into English of significant poems from the 1960s to 1980s – Mahmoud Darwish's full scope as a poet, Palestinian, political asylee, and renderer of worlds is finally on full display. Darwish was a master of Arab poetics and modernist methods, and in combining these influences, he created poetry of intense beauty and resonant music and is forever read and treasured around the Middle East as a source of comfort and pride. Never before has literature related to Palestine been so in demand, as showcased by the commercial success of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad and Forest of Noise by Mosab Abu Toha. Readers are clearly seeking nonfiction and fiction alike to better understand the history of the region and its people.
