This remarkable collection of poems, meditations, fragments, and
journal entries was Mahmoud Darwish’s last volume to come out in
Arabic. This River is at once lyrical and philosophical,
questioning and wise, full of irony, resistance, and play.
Darwish’s musings on unrest and loss dwell on love and humanity;
myth and dream are inseparable from truth. Throughout this personal
collection, Darwish returns frequently to his ongoing and often
lighthearted conversation with death. A River Dies of Thirst is a
collection of quiet revelations, embracing poetry, life, death,
love, and the human condition.
