محمود درويش في شبابه، شاعر القضية الفلسطينية

His Life:

Mahmoud Darwish was born in "Al Birweh" Palestine (1941), During the establishment of the State of "Israel" in (1948), his village was destroyed and his family fled to Lebanon. As a young man, Darwish faced house arrest and imprisonment for his political activism and for publicly reading his poetry. - Darwish published his first work of poetry "Wingless Birds" in (1964), when he was 19.

His Poems:

I am from there, I am from here. I am not there, and I am not here. I have two names, which meet and part. And I have two languages, I forget which

We love life if we find a way to it. And we plant, where we settle, some fast growing plants, and harvest the dead. We play the flute like the color of the faraway, sketch over the dirt corridor a neigh. We write our names one stone at a time, O lightning brighten the night. We love life if we find a way to it…

If the canary doesn't sing to you my friend know that you are the warden of your prison

- Translated by Fady Joudah

No, pineapple pizza isn’t on here. It gets too much publicity and I’m bored of it. Pick one of the other ones. (If it’s more than one thing or something else feel free to put in tags)
