Full description for The Butterfly's Burden
Poetry. Translated by Fady Joudah. THE BUTTERFLY'S BURDEN combines the complete text of Darwish's two most recent full-length volumes, linked by the stunning memoir-witness poem "A State of Siege." Love poems, sonnets, journal-like distillations, and interlaced lyrics balance old literary traditions with new forms, highlighting loving reflections alongside bitter longing. "Mahmoud Darwish is the Essential Breath of the Palestinian people, the eloquent witness of exile and belonging, exquisitely tuned singer of images that invoke, link, and shine a brilliant light into the world's whole heart. What he speaks has been embraced by readers around the world--his in an utterly necessary voice, unforgettable once discovered"--Naomi Shihab Nye. Mahmoud Darwish is the leading poet in the Arab world, an artist and activist who attracts thousands to his public readings.
