Mural is a testimony to one of the most important and powerful poets of our age. Mahmoud Darwish was the Palestinian national poet. One of the greatest poets of the last half-centu ry, his work evokes the loss of his homeland and is suffused with the pain of dispossession, exile and loss. Here, his close friends John Berger and Rema Hammami present a beautiful new translation of two of Darwish's later works, his long 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. Show more
