Review Quotes
Arab News
"Zaqtan’s narrative is lyrical, heartbreaking and profound. Rooted in Palestine—a land that stood the test of time and would go on to become the hub of early and modern civilizations—the story is captivating enough to transport us to the hideaway monastery in Nuba Karam or the vineyards of Beit Jalla, the new homes for several villagers forced into exile."
Ilya Kaminsky, author of Dancing in Odessa
“Zaqtan is certainly a master of his art, one who is able to be a mythmaker and a witness at the same time, which is rare among poets. . . . A word-artist of the first order.”
