Emerging from both memory and imagination, these poems trace the contours of hillscapes and villages, mapping a Palestine that is both historical and mythic, personal and collective. In Zaqtan's hands, language threads its way through time--winding across landscapes marked by war, displacement, and enduring beauty. Each poem feels like part of a longer thread: a moment lifted from an ongoing inner epic, stitched into being with dreamlike clarity and haunting precision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Long meditative pieces drift through shadow and sunlight, while other poems strike with the sharpness of remembered incident. This is poetry as pilgrimage--quiet, persistent, and full of echoes. A book that doesn't so much end as continue resonating long after the last page is turned. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ghassan Zaqtan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44267800985642,"sku":"9781803096063","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/the-town-i-never-told-you-about-poems-2022-2024-9352712.jpg?v=1776560832","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/the-town-i-never-told-you-about-poems-2022-2024","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
