In the Presence of Absence by Mahmoud Darwish

In the Presence of Absence by Mahmoud Darwish

Knowing his heart would likely fail him, Darwish wrote his own eulogy — addressing himself in the second person, as though he had already gone.

Part memoir, part prose poem, it moves through his village before 1948, exile, prison, the beloved, and the strange condition of being a national poet who is not permitted to live in the nation.

Translated by Sinan Antoon. Widely regarded as his finest prose work.
