Opis

A Palestinian poet, Ibrahim Nasrallah is among the foremost poets of his generation. In this collection, Nasrallah describes the suffering of the Palestinians not through a personal lens, but through a universal context. He observes life with a natural human tendency toward a love that can heal, transcend, and transform the pain and sorrow of human experience.

Taste

"There s the dewy taste of seas and clouds in the dust, "
"the taste of the expanse and the rain, "
"of plains, mountains, humans, "
"of feminity, love, and intrepid oranges, "
"of childhood and saffron, "
"of living in my mother s heart, "
"of travel, "
"and of your soul and mine."
"But my beloved trees steal toward the source"
"to taste it in solitude, before any of us""
