About this product

Product Information

A much-anticipated follow-up to Nothing More to Lose , this is only the second poetry collection translated into English from a vital voice of Arabic literature. "We drag histories behind us," the Palestinian poet Najwan Darwish writes in Exhausted on the Cross , "here / where there's neither land / nor sky." In pared-down lines, brilliantly translated from the Arabic by Kareem James Abu-Zeid, Darwish records what Ra l Zurita describes as "something immemorial, almost unspeakable"--a poetry driven by a "moral imperative" to be a "colossal record of violence and, at the same time, the no less colossal record of compassion." Darwish's poems cross histories, cultures, and geographies, taking us from the grime of modern-day Shatila and the opulence of medieval Baghdad to the gardens of Samarkand and the open-air prison of present-day Gaza. We join the Persian poet Hafez in the conquered city of Shiraz and converse with the Prophet Mohammad in Medina. Poem after poem evokes the humor in the face of despair, the hope in the face of nightmare.

Reviews
"A voice simultaneously so passionate and so matter-of-fact that it stops the breath." --NPR "Such poetry does not play games, linguistic, critical, theoretical, does not address itself to the academies, but goes straight to the heart, straight to the point. And, on every page, in every line, the Lyric voice, the moving, self-questioning power, predominates." --Nathaniel Tarn

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.

Not standard size, used; priced like new standard size. Seller refused to pay return shipping for not-standard item, not noted in listing. I learned not to buy a book without a listed size; could be anything.
