I would simply recommend this to anyone. Darwish possesses a beautiful imaginative control over individual words and poetry as a whole.

Most days a gallows where the innocent get hung. But the rope turns illumined for one who knows. --Anonymous Just read from this book tonight, online. Seems the author did "know" something. And was a real pleasure to read. Daniel Ladinsky international best selling PenguinRandomHouse author

Darwish is the father of a Palestinian Contemporary Poetry. In the presence of his poetry, I call on solidarity and respect, because i am a child from the same land and poetry is runs in my wounded veins. Yes...they are all wounded...we are all wounded..yet.
