Mural

A major new translation of remarkable, late poems by the great Palestinian poet <i>Mural</i> is the testimony of one of the most important and powerful poets of our age.<br><br>Mahmoud Darwish was the unofficial laureate of Palestine. One of the greatest poets of the last half-century, his work evokes the loss of his homeland and is suffused with the pain of dispossession and exile. 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, <i>The Dice Player</i>, which Darwish read in Ramallah a month before his death.<br><br>Illustrated with original drawings by John Berger.
