[Sethreports] A Reading of From Beirut by Mahmoud Darwish

[Seth Porcello]

Hello All -
 From a little bookstore, and a hand stapled copy of 'From Beirut' by  
Mahmoud Darwish, comes this reading of his poem.  His voice comes to  
us out of history, out of 1982 which was the last time that Israel  
was in Lebanon.  It was doing much the same thing as it is doing  
today.  And "just when Beirut was starting to look modern again..."  
in the words of our friend mr. fisk, came down the bombs.  His voice  
is as fresh now as it ever was.  From Beirut, an apple for the sea.   
 From Beirut, beacon of rubble.
