Title: Mahmoud Darwish, exile's poet
Description: "For the first time in English, this book offers a critical appraisal of Darwish's work, from the earliest poetry to more recent works such as State of Siege, Don't Apologize for What You've Done, and Why Have You Left the Horse Alone? Here is the work of scholars and poets who examine the complex connections between poetry, myth, lyric, prose, and history in Darwish's work. Articles situate his writing in relation to both modern Arabic and world poetry, and delve into issues such as the future of poetry, the role of the poet, cultural heritage, lyrical modes, and the relationship of place and identity."--Jacket.
