Great Regulars: In a return to Galilee,

where the poet was born, the making of "a poem, a myth creating reality" is pictured as a feminine art: "I'll enter a woman's needle in/one of the myths/and fly like a shawl with the wind" ("Not as a Foreign Tourist Does"). "Reality" can and must be remade; and [Mahmoud] Darwish, writing from embattlement, knows that to refuse the status quo he must refuse fixity.
