Mahmud Darwish, Samith al-Qasim and Adonis are amongst the great poets of the Arab world. Victims of a Map presents some of their finest work in translation, alongside the original Arabic. It includes thirteen previously unseen poems by Darwish - in English or Arabic - and ‘The Desert’ by Adonis written during the 1982 siege of Beirut, also published here for the first time. Timeless and essential, this is a valuable companion for both students of Arabic literature and readers of Arabic poetry.
