I Don't Want This Poem to End

"First English translation of new poetry by the late Mahmoud Darwish, the most important Palestinian contemporary poet. When the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish died in 2008, his friends visited his home and retrieved poems and writings some of which are gathered together in this volume, translated into English for the first time. They include three collections from different phases in Darwish's writing career, as well as reminiscences by friends drawn from the poet's final years, and a moving account of the discovery of the new poems in this collection"--Page 4 of cover.
