- Summary
- "Mahmoud Darwish was the Palestinian national poet. One of the greatest poets of the last half-century, his work evokes the loss of his homeland, suffused with the pain of dispossession and exile. But his poems, too, display a brilliant acuity, a passion for and openness to the world and, above all, a deep and abiding humanity. Here, his friends Rema Hammami and John Berger present a beautiful new translation of two of Darwish's later works, his epic masterpiece "Mural", a contemplation of his life and work written following life threatening surgery, and his last poem, "The Dice Player", which Darwish read in Ramallah a month before his death. Illustrated with original drawings by John Berger, Mural is a testimony to one of the most important and powerful poets of our age."--BOOK JACKET.
