Beschreibung
A landmark first English translation of Tamim Al-Barghouti, one of the most widely read and celebrated Palestinian poets of his generation, In Jerusalem and Other Poems brings together two decades of work written across Cairo, Ramallah, Amman, Washington, DC, and Berlin.

Rooted in the rich tradition of classical Arabic poetry yet urgently contemporary, Al-Barghouti’s verse has captivated vast audiences, filling stadiums and resonating across generations.

At the heart of the collection is “In Jerusalem,” a powerful long poem chronicling an interrupted journey to the city that became a cultural phenomenon across the Arab world—recited, memorized, and carried in everyday life. Alongside it are poems shaped by exile, return, and political upheaval, including “Hanet,” written in the wake of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 and shared in Cairo’s streets at a pivotal historical moment.

Blending lyrical intensity with political insight, this collection affirms Al-Barghouti’s status as a vital poetic voice whose work moves seamlessly between the personal and the collective, the classical and the contemporary.
