Palestine as Metaphor consists of a series of interviews with Mahmoud Darwish, which have never appeared in English before. The interviews are a wealth of information on the poet's personal life, his relationships, his numerous works, and his tragedy. They illuminate Darwish's conception of poetry as a supreme art that transcends time and place.

Several writers and journalists conducted the interviews, including a Lebanese poet, a Syrian literary critic, three Palestinian writers, and an Israeli journalist. Each encounter took place in a different city from Nicosia to London, Paris, and Amman.

These vivid dialogues unravel the threads of a rich life haunted by the loss of Palestine and illuminate the genius and the distress of a major world poet.

About Mahmoud Darwish

Mahmoud Darwish (1941–2008) was born in Al-Birwa, a village in Mandatory Palestine destroyed in 1948. He became the national poet of Palestine and one of the most widely translated Arab poets of the twentieth century. His poetry collections include A Lover from Palestine (1966) and Unfortunately, It Was Paradise (2003), a volume of selected poems in English translation. His prose memoir Memory for Forgetfulness, on the 1982 siege of Beirut, appeared in Arabic in 1987. He served on the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization and edited the literary journal Al-Karmel. He received the Lenin Peace Prize in 1983 and the Prince Claus Award in 2004.
