Naddy talks about Mahmoud Darwish's poems, which exemplify the sense of cryptic playfulness that Darwish tried always to create. In his final poems, he narrates from a perspective that became strangely archetypal for him. Moreover, one of his collections is called Unfortunately, It Was Paradise--an elegant phrase to summarize the paradox of the exile, the reason that a homeland cannot be forgotten, regardless of its state of ruin.

ST. LOUIS -- A modest, one-story red-brick house that rock and roll legend Chuck Berry bought in 1950 will be considered for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Experts on St. Louis landmarks say Berry and his family lived in the home in the city's Ville neighborhood during his most productive early songwriting period.

Darwish was born in 1942 in the Western Galilee in the village of Birweh, before it was razed in the 1948 war that would lead to Israeli independence. As a young man, he joined the Israeli Communist Party and wrote poems and editorials for left-wing newspapers. His vocal activis, brought intense scrutiny from the Israeli government. Meanwhile, suffering from arterial disease, Darwish suffered a heart attack in 1984 followed by operations later that year and again in 1998.

One of the sharpest statements by a writer in our time is "The White Whale" by E.L. Doctorow, a keynote address by the author of "Ragtime, "The Waterworks" and "City of God" that was given to members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society in April 2007: Just as Moby-Dick was too much for Ahab," said Doctorow, "our new century may be too difficult for us to comprehend." He mentioned the president's invasion of Iraq, "how badly it has gone, bumblingly and tragically ruinous, with so many lives destroyed," as an example of what that can mean. To explain, he invoked the term "quantum locality."

Poets For Palestine" continues this vision as a unique collection of poetry, spoken word, hip-hop and art devoted to Palestine. Unifying a diverse range of poets who have used their words to elevate the consciousness of humanity, this book aims to bridge a younger generation of poets with those who, for decades, have cultivated and strengthened the poetic medium. In compiling the 48 poems that appear in the collection, I discovered a mixture of new voices, each of whom propelled me to further grasp the necessity of poetry and art as human expression. From Amiri Baraka to Patricia Smith to the N.O.M.A.D.S., poetry, spoken word, and hip-hop are embodied in "Poets For Palestine." Other poets in the book include the late Mahmoud Darwish, Naomi Shihab Nye, Suheir Hammad, Nathalie Handal, E....
