A Bilingual Reader of Resistance Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoetry has long been Palestine’s most vital art form – a space where memory is safeguarded and resistance given voice. Spanning a century of upheaval and endurance, \u003cem\u003eThe Palestinian Wedding\u003c\/em\u003e brings together 21 major poets in a powerful bilingual anthology. From the charged lyricism of Tawfiq Zayyad to the expansive imagery of Walid al-Halis; from the romantic cadences of Salma al-Jayyusi to the profound rootedness of Mahmoud Darwish, these poems chart the emotional and political landscape of modern Palestine. Together, they reveal a tradition in which love of land, grief, defiance and hope are inseparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited, translated and introduced by the eminent scholar A.M. Elmessiri, the collection – first published in 1982 – is arranged around six central themes – revolution, war, elegy, belonging, resistance and steadfastness – offering readers both an essential literary archive and a vital lens on Palestinian cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a new foreword by Asmaa Azaizeh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA.M.
