Means no one can possibly read your concealed suffering
Only through tears will notice you exist

Review of the poem"mother" by Mahmoud Darwish/ Mahnaz badihian

mahmag  •  30 May, 2010

Darwish has many poems that are considered very strong, but I have always thought the poem he wrote to his mother is one of the strongest poems ever written for a mother. In this poem Mother is used as a metaphor for his homeland, for Palestine.
He starts the poem with a very iconic subject in Middle Eastern culture: Bread.

a new poetry book (Cadences) by Kitty Jospé

a soft curve of a comma?
How different from the exclamation
Who do you think you are!
