In the state of siege, time becomes space
Transfixed in its eternity
In the state of siege, space becomes time
That has missed its yesterday and its tomorrow…
The siege will last in order to convince us we must choose
an enslavement that does no harm, in fullest liberty!

- Under Siege by Mahmoud Darwish

Gaza is still under siege

Mahmoud Darwish will be signing his new book, The Butterfly Effect, at the balad theater on Saturday 23.

    I bought a copy of Mahmoud Darwish’s “The Butterfly’s Burden” translated by Fady Joudah (2007) last year (i don’t know if it’s the same edition he will be signing at this event). Anyways, I wish i could have his signature on my copy! :(
