## Description

desertcart.com: In the Presence of Absence: 9781935744016: Darwish, Mahmoud, Antoon, Sinan: Books

Review: Amazing book - This book is very difficult to describe because it is truly a masterpiece. Mahmoud Darwish has outdone himself in this beautiful book, it is even hard to believe that he wrote it before he died because it discussed such sensitive and critical and complex feelings and theories. I also assure you that this is the best translation you will find of the book, the translation is simply magnificent and it's obvious how much hard work has been put into it, bringing out all the features Darwish was aiming to bring out precisely and with great detail.
Review: Marvelous, must read - Darwish is one of the most transcendent poets of his generation. This is a remarkable elf-elegy with full knowledge that his death was imminent. In this, his last book, Darwish utilized all his poetic genius to create a luminous work with stunning language. I have loved every poem and verse that Darwish has written and I treasure this remarkable work.
