to the Palestinian dreams of statehood, crafted their declaration of independence and helped forge a Palestinian national identity.Darwish first gained prominence in the 1960s with the publication of his first poetry collection, Bird without Wings.
Darwish wrote the Palestinian Declaration of Independence in 1988, read by the late Palestinian leader YASSER ARAFAT when he unilaterally declared statehood. The declaration was symbolic and had no concrete significance.
