A River Dies of Thirst Paperback – Deckle Edge, August 25, 2009

A high quality used book

Great book

I would simply recommend this to anyone. Darwish possesses a beautiful imaginative control over individual words and poetry as a whole.

A great poem by a great poet

Most days a gallows where the innocentget hung.But the rope turns illumined for onewho knows.--AnonymousJust read from this book tonight, online. Seems the authordid "know" something. And was a real pleasure to read.Daniel Ladinskyinternational best selling PenguinRandomHouse author

Darwish is the father of a Palestinian Contemporary Poetry. In the presence of his poetry, I call on solidarity and respect, because i am a child from the same land and poetry is runs in my wounded veins. Yes...they are all wounded...we are all wounded..yet.Note to the excellent job of courage Ms. Catherine: How can we translate beauty in?? Near impossible,but what you have achieved Ms.Catherine is you translated Serenity, and very well in deed.

This book is Full of Emotions.
