Thanks for this, Pierre; I'm usually too busy to remember to check
your blog until you remind me.
Really enjoyed Insider.
And this from the article on Darwish, all too true I suspect:
In a 2002 interview, Darwish stated: "I thought poetry could change
everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that
the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to
believe. But now I think that poetry changes only the poet."
