Unfortunately, It Was Paradise by Mahmoud Darwish

Unfortunately, It Was Paradise by Mahmoud Darwish

This is the standard English selection of Darwish's work, drawn from the later collections in which he moved away from direct politics and towards something harder to argue with — exile written as weather, as furniture, as a woman's name.

Munir Akash and Carolyn Forché's translations cover the great late poems, including A Rhyme for the Odes and the Mural sequence. Darwish is at his most inward here: the country appears as a house he keeps almost entering, and the reader is never allowed to settle into either grief or defiance.

The best single-volume introduction in English to the poet who gave Palestine its voice.
