I read this slim work of #poetry as one of the last categories for the #ReadHarder2017 challenge. The task is to read a translated poetry book that is NOT about love. So I went ahead and chose a work about war. Mahmoud Darwish was a celebrated Lebanese poet and this is one of his few works translated into English. Some lines of poem really resonated with me while others fell almost comically flat, which I‘m blaming on the translation. 3/5 stars.
