Nathalie Handal : The Lives Of Rain before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Lives Of Rain:

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A Love Song in the Back Pocket of a MartyrBy matt horton"In the tradition of Darwish, young Palestinian women in the Diaspora are taking up the mantle of modern Palestinian poetry. Nathalie Handal, a "poet in violet solitude" riding "sailboats across the world's heart," beautifully describes the continuing agony of exile of her generation of refugees, who should "no longer be sheets flying to nowhere"...In The Lives of Rain, Handal stands, weeps and celebrates as her poems "travel and move from one continent to the next, move, to be whole." The poet seamlessly weaves her experiences in Europe, and the Arab world through this "love song in the back pocket of a martyr." Her travels revolve around her current home, New York, where the rain gathers in puddles, ebbs, flows and disperses into lives of love, beauty and pain." -- From the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, April 2006 issue.3 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Stirring, Heartrending CollectionBy Daniel Olivas"The Lives of Rain" is a stirring, heartrending collection that forces us to look at the agonizing ramifications of military intervention and the Palestinian diaspora. Nathalie Handal does not point fingers; perhaps we all are to blame on some level. But one thing is clear: Handal is an important and eloquent voice whose poetic vision is as rare as it is necessary.

"In The Lives of Rain, Nathalie Handal has brought forth a work of radical displacement and uncertainty, moving continent to continent, giving voice to of the diaspora in the utterance of one fiercely awake and compassionate, who, against warfare, occupation and brutality offers her native language, olives, wind, a herd of sheep or a burning mountain, radio music, a butterfly s gaze...Handal is a poet of deftly considered paradoxes and reversals, sensory evocations and mysteries left beautifully unresolved. Hers is a language seared by history and marked by the impress of extremity; so it is suffused with a rare species of wisdom." From the Foreword by Carolyn Forché

Handal's poetry tells the story over and over of the pain of separation, the heartache of missed chances, and the tradedy of a displaced culture... the poems wash over the reader like music, and the reader becomes witness and heir to the senseless pain created in this world, experienced and trasmitted by this poet. --Multicultural reviewAbout the AuthorPoet, playwright, writer, editor, critic and literary activist, she finished her postgraduate studies in English and Drama at University of London, her MFA in Creative Writing and Literature at Bennington College, , her Master of Arts in English and her Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Communications at Simmons College, Boston.
