The illumined sky
Most days a gallows where the innocent get hung. But the rope turns illumined for one who knows. --Anonymous Just read from this book tonight, online. Seems the author did "know" something. And was a real pleasure to read. Daniel Ladinsky international best selling PenguinRandomHouse author

Note to the excellent job of courage Ms
Darwish is the father of a Palestinian Contemporary Poetry. In the presence of his poetry, I call on solidarity and respect, because i am a child from the same land and poetry is runs in my wounded veins. Yes...they are all wounded...we are all wounded..yet. Note to the excellent job of courage Ms. Catherine: How can we translate beauty in?? Near impossible,but what you have achieved Ms.Catherine is you translated Serenity, and very well in deed.
