Arabic is widely known as a strongly metaphorical language, and Darwish’s poems as part of Arabic literature hold many embedded meanings and metaphors that play a major role in building up their artistic flavour. -

Ramallah Poetry Festival 15-18 August 2018
Ramallah Poetry Festival 15-18 August 2018 For the second year, Ramallah launches its poetry festival and opens its windows to welcome the air of the Mediter- ranean sea. This is the Palestinian image for the Voix Vives poetry festival that expands from shore to shore. Ramallah continues to pursue its endeavor to be one of the cities that provides its space for the different manifestations of lan- guage. In this it captures an imaginative collective image of poetic voices. Lively images and profound beating voices that erupt within the body of a place is what can be referred to as memory. Civilization is the readiness to constantly travel between the elements of life, and the consciousness that can continuously connect between time and place and between what was, what is, and what will be. Ramallah’s poetry festival is an honorable recognition that the cities are its poets. It is a generous house of the Mediterranean that welcomes its old and new partners as well as, friends that have witnessed together a single history that comes with a diverse but harmonious rhythm and varying images that are still similar. With the new poetic voices, innovative inspirations, and di- verse spaces, Palestine holds on to the accomplishments it has brought forth last year. With a high sense of responsibil- ity that is shared by the Ramallah Municipality, Mahmoud Darwish Institution, and Association Libre Culture – France, we would like to reiterate our deep gratitude and thanks to all the teams that contributed in preparing and executing this event. We send our warmest thanks to our poets as they celebrate poetry in a city that is joyous in celebrating them. -

The poets examined here, Rabindranath Tagore, Derek Walcott, and Mahmoud Darwish—arguably among the best-known poets of the modern world—sought to be heard by various sensibilities and succeeded in reaching them. Outside the fold of the Western Metropolitan world, they as a trio have much to teach us about how poets living under three different phases of colonial hegemony (colonial India, postcolonial West Indies, and neocolonial Palestine/Israel) manage to speak. -

In my language, there is a flock of silent fortresses that send candle light towards me, from behind silent fortresses, they send candle light towards me, from behind silent fortresses, they send candle light towards me, It resembles barbed wires, inside of barbed wires, inside of barbed wires, inside of barbed wires; they surround two letters. 1.1 Introduction This chapter investigates six issues extracted from Barghouti’s critical and literary works. The six issues relevant to the discussion of Barghouti’s concept of innovation are reflected in the above excerpt. They are 1) the link between criticism and literary creativity, 2) the interplay between surface and depth, 3) the materiality of living, 4) the issue of literary engagement, 5) embroidery, and 6) artistic taste. The excerpt is, thus, a metapoetic expression that asserts the link between criticism and literary creativity. These issues will guide the thematic readings of the following chapters and provide insight into Barghouti’s views on literature, the relation between criticism and literary creativity, and his engagement with the political and literary scene in Palestine. -
