Table of ContentsReviewsDarwish's poetry is an epic effort to transform the lyrics of loss into the indefinitely postponed drama of return. -- Edward Said Did as much as anyone to forge a Palestinian national consciousness. -- Peter Clark * The Guardian * The most celebrated writer of verse in the Arab world. -- Adam Shatz * The New York Times * an exquisitely designed book, enhanced by several of Berger's evocative drawings ... Mural is a spiraling and circuitous poem, alive with swerves and sly twists, moving along corridors that dead-end only to open out unexpectedly into detours and hidden passageways. That single adjective, conspicuous in Darwish's spare style, presages the very structure of Mural. -- Eric Ormsby * Bookforum * The translation is very fine . . . It's a joy to read and among the very best Palestinian literature. -- Raja Shehadeh, author of <i>Palestinian Walks</i> Darwish's poetry is an epic effort to transform the lyrics of loss into the indefinitely postponed drama of return. -- Edward Said The most celebrated writer of verse in the Arab world. -- Adam Shatz * The New York Times * The translation is very fine . . .
