Victims of a Map / An Anthology of Arabic Poetry
"Give Birth to Me Again That I May Know" A poem by Mahmud Darwish, touched my heart. The poem begins: "Give birth to me again that I may know in which land I will die, in which land I will come to life again." The poem ends with the lines, "I long for the bread of your voice, mother! I long for everything. I long for myself...I long for you."

He creates pictures from poems!
Adonis is the recipient of Nâzim Hikmet Poetry Award (Syria-Lebanon Best Poet Award). He was employed at the Lebanese University as a professor of Arabic literature, at Damascus University, Sorbonne. Adonis is a Lebanese citizen since 1961. He resides in Paris at the time of this review. Wonderful anthology that delights the reader into imagining how a butterfly cart would be. Read.

Small Group of Poets from Politically Disputed Areas
Anthology of poems by three modern writers: Adonis, han repay reading, td Darwish, Samih al-Qasim. Though long faithful to complacted classical metre, in the 20th century, Arabic poetry adopted free form, and with remarkable economy of means, achieved startling effects. Of no one was this truer than Mahmud Darwish, but all of these poets who have lived in the shadow of occupation, will e than repay reading, whether in the original, or in the parallel English translation, or a combination of the two.
