Its just over a year since the renown poet Mahmoud Darwish, The Voice of Palestine, died; so, fittingly, the A.M. Qattan Foundation are holding Celebrate Darwish, a night of his readings by contemporary poets and authors Fawzi Karim, Margaret Obank, Ruth Padel and Hanan al-Shaykh.

The event is in association with the Arab British Centre and Saqi who, in early August, published “A River Dies of Thirst: A Diary” of Darwish’s thoughts and recollections during the 2006 conflict in Ramallah.
