Mahmoud Darwish 
Mural 

Mural is the testimony of one of the most important and powerful poets of our age.



Mahmoud Darwish was the unofficial laureate of Palestine. One of the greatest poets of the last half-century, his work evokes the loss of his homeland and is suffused with the pain of dispossession and exile. Here, his close friends John Berger and Rema Hammami present a beautiful new translation of two of Darwish’s later works: his long masterpiece Mural, a contemplation of his life and work written following life-threatening surgery, and his last poem,
The Dice Player, which Darwish read in Ramallah a month before his death.
