Mahmoud Darwish (1942-2008), recipient of Frances Knight of Arts and Belles Lettres medal, the Lotus Prize, and the Lannan Foundation Prize for Cultural Freedom, is widely considered Palestines most eminent poet.
State of Siege was written while the poet himself was under siege in Ramallah during the Israeli invasion of 2002.
An eloquent and impassioned response to political extremity, the collection was published to great acclaim in the Arab world.
Munir Akashs translation, including an introduction exploring the rich mythology of these poems, presents the first book-length, bilingual edition of State of Siege to an English audience.
