Full description for Why Did You Leave the Horse Alone?

• At once an intimate autobiography and a collective memory of the Palestinian people, Mahmoud Darwish's interlinked poems are collective cries, songs, and glimpses of the human condition. The collection--widely considered his "chef-d'oeuvre"--is a poetry of myth and history, of exile and suspended time, of an identity bound to the Arabic language and his displaced people. Darwish's poems--specific and symbolic, simple and profound--are historical glimpses, existential queries, chants of pain and injustice of a people separated from their land.
