Mahmud Darwish, Samih al-Qasim and Adonis are amongst the leading poets in the Arab world today. “Victims of a Map” presents some of their finest work in translation, alongside the original Arabic, including thirteen poems by Darwish never before published—in English or Arabic—and a long work by Adonis written during the 1982 siege of Beirut, also published here for the first time.
