Full description for In the Presence of Absence

• "Darwish is to be read with urgency, in the night, when nothing else moves but his lines." --"The Village Voice"By one of the most transcendent poets of this generation, a remarkable collection of prose poems that explores themes of love, pain, isolation, and connection. In this self-eulogy written in the final years of Mahmoud Darwish's life, Palestine becomes a metaphor for the injustice and pain of our contemporary moment.Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008) was one of the most acclaimed poets in the Arab world. His poetry collections include "Why Did You Leave the Horse Alone?" and "A River Dies of Thirst" (Archipelago Books). In 2001 Darwish was awarded the Lannan Cultural Freedom Prize.
