Sadder than Water: New and Selected Poems
Description:
Poetry. Translated from the Arabic by Nazih Kassis. The first-ever English collection by this major Palestinian poet. Born in 1939, al-Qasim first achieved fame as one of the celebrated "resistance poets" and over the decades he has produced a body of work that is as varied and innovative as it is large. This volume collects poems from his various periods and modes (short, long, lyrical, caustic) and finally makes available to English readers the full range of al-Qasim's oeuvre. An outspoken opponent of racism and oppression on all sides of the Middle East conflict, al-Qasim is a major figure in the Arab world. A must for anyone interested in world literature.
