Why Did You Leave the Horse Alone? by Mahmoud Darwish

Why Did You Leave the Horse Alone? by Mahmoud Darwish

Darwish was six when his family fled al-Birwa in 1948 and returned to find the village gone. This collection is his most autobiographical, and the title is the question a boy asks his father on the night of the flight.

The poems move through that childhood — the almond blossom, the grandfather who refused to leave, the school where he had to hide that he was born in the wrong place — and out into exile, where the same house keeps appearing in different countries. Darwish refuses slogans; the politics arrive through a doorway, a horse, a woman's name.

One of the essential collections by the poet who gave Palestine its voice, in facing-page English.
