The first English translation of recent poetry by the late Mahmoud Darwish, the most important Palestinian contemporary poet. Almond Blossoms and Beyond is one of the last collections of poetry that Mahmoud Darwish left to the world. Composed of brief lyric poems and the magnificent sustained Exile cycle, Almond Blossoms holds an important place in Darwish’s unparalleled oeuvre. It distills his late style, in which, though the specter of death looms and weddings turn to funerals, he threads the pulses and fragilities and beauties of life into the lines of his poems. Their liveliness is his own response to the collection’s final call to bid “Farewell / Farewell, to the poetry of pain.”

Mahmoud Darwish

Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008) was a Palestinian poet and author known for his powerful and evocative works that captured the experiences of his people. His poetry often expressed themes of exile, loss, and longing for his homeland. Darwish's most famous work, "In the Presence of Absence," is considered a masterpiece of modern Arabic poetry.

His writing style was characterized by its lyrical and emotive language, as well as its deep connection to Palestinian history and culture. Darwish's contributions to literature include giving a voice to the Palestinian struggle and raising awareness of their plight to a global audience.

Darwish's impact on the literary genre of Arabic poetry is profound, as he is widely regarded as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. His works continue to inspire readers and writers around the world, and his legacy as a champion of Palestinian identity and culture remains enduring.
