Naomi Shihab NyeCatherine Cobhams translations sway delicately between mystery and clarity, giving a rendition of the masters voice that should impress both those reading Darwishs work for the first time and those who are already familiar with it.  Fady Joudah, The GuardianThis remarkable collection of poems, meditations, fragments, and journal entries was Mahmoud Darwishs last volume to come out in Arabic.River is at once lyrical and philosophical, questioning and wisefull of irony, resistance, and play. Darwishs musings on unrest and loss dwell on love and humanity; in the pages of River, myth and dream are inseparable from truth.Throughout this personal collection, Darwish returns frequently to his ongoing (and often lighthearted) conversation with death, warning that eternity does not visit graves and loves to joke.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brand: Archipelago","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45899425415366,"sku":"DADAX0981955711","price":21.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/81ReCv0l4-L.jpg?v=1780298158","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/a-river-dies-of-thirst","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
