A beautiful and painful compilation of three of Darwish's books: The Strangers Bed, A State of Siege, and Dont Apologize for What Youve Done. There is unmistakable hope, nostalgia, love, loss and longing for Palestine in every stanza. Each poem is anecdotal and slips from one form to the other clocked in soft imageries that can at times strike as disconcerting. Darwish takes you through the lovely scenes he so wonderfully recreates for his readers which ring his work close to the Arab home. ThatI loved a lot of things about this book. It's Darwish's last three collections put together, which makes for interesting juxtapositions (the love lyrics of 'The Stranger's Bed' side by side with 'A State of Siege', written in Ramallah in earshot of Israeli tanks). What I love about Darwish is that his political poems are never political in an antsy didactic way, though they easily could be - instead, there's a real suffusion of political and poetic sensibility, so that poetry becomes a mode of

A stylish and eloquent poet but for me Raja Shehadeh gives a more immediate flavour of Palestine.
how tragic his death, waiting for a Visa for surgery in the states ... the accompaning arabic is exceedingly beautiful & a script i now want to learn . the 'others' the lovers the muses, they are all here in this song of exile and Palestine and longing .
Read it in its original Arabic. Read it in English. Prophetic. Gorgeous.
Fabulous! Superbly crafted and moving poetry by one of Palestines best poets. His work is truly among my favorites!
