{"product_id":"9781849251167","title":"The Palestinian Wedding : A Bilingual Reader of Resistance Poetry by A.M. Elmessiri","description":"Poetry has long been Palestine's most vital art form - a space where memory is safeguarded and resistance given voice. Spanning a century of upheaval and endurance, The Palestinian Wedding brings together twenty-one major poets in a powerful bilingual anthology.   From the charged lyricism of Tawfiq Zayyad to the expansive imagery of Walid al-Halis; from the romantic cadences of Salma al-Jayyusi to the profound rootedness of Mahmoud Darwish, these poems chart the emotional and political landscape of modern Palestine. Together, they reveal a tradition in which love of land, grief, defiance and hope are inseparable.   Edited and introduced by the eminent scholar A.M. Elmessiri, the collection is arranged around six central themes - revolution, war, elegy, belonging, resistance and steadfastness - offering readers both an essential literary archive and a vital lens on Palestinian cultural history.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369338909045,"sku":"9781849251167","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781849251167.jpg?v=1764612363","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781849251167","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
