THE BUTTERFLY'S BURDEN
THE BUTTERFLY'S BURDEN
Mahmoud Darwish (1942-2008) was the poetic voice of the Palestinian people. One of the most acclaimed contemporary poets in the Arab world, he was also a prominent spokesman for human rights who spent most of his life in exile. In his early work, the features of his beloved land - its flowers and birds, towns and waters - were an integral part of poems witnessing a string of political and humanitarian tragedies afflicting his people. In his most recent books, his writing stands at the border of earth and sky, reality and myth, poetry and prose. Returning to Palestine in 1996, he settled in Ramallah, where he surprised his huge following in the Arab world by writing a book of love, The Strangers Bed (1998), singing of love as a private exile, not about exile as a public love. A State of Siege (2002) was his response to the second Intifada, his testament not only to human suffering but to art under duress, art in transmutation. The 47 short lyrics of Dont Apologise for What Youve Done (2003) form a transfiguring incarnation or incantation of the poet after the carnage. The Butterflys Burden is a translation of these three recent books. It was awarded the Saif GhobashBanipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation in 2008. Arabic-English bilingual edition.
