Palestinian People Are In Love With Life.

My Homeland Is Not A Suitcase, And I Am No Traveller

Sometimes I Feel As If I Am Read Before I Write. When I Write A Poem About My Mother, Palestinians Think My Mother Is A Symbol For Palestine. But I Write As A Poet, And My Mother Is My Mother. She's Not A Symbol.

When A Writer Declares That His First Book Is His Best, That Is Bad. I Progress Successively From Book To Book.
