Selected poems by Samih Al-Qasim, one of the most celebrated Palestinian poets of the Nakba generation and a Palestinian citizen of Israel who spent his life writing poetry of resistance and identity. Al-Qasim's poetry addresses themes of Palestinian dispossession, steadfastness, Arab identity, and the experience of being an indigenous minority in the state built on the ruins of his people's homeland. Recommended for students and researchers of Palestinian poetry and resistance, and for anyone studying the literary legacy of the Nakba generation through the work of Palestinian citizens of Israel. Translated from its original Arabic by Abdulwahid Lu'lu'a.
