Najwan Darwish

(Palestine, 1978)
 

Najwan Darwish was born in Jerusalem in 1978. He continues to live and work there as advisor to the Palestinian Festival for Literature (PalFest), and also as a critic, cultural journalist and founder of multidisciplinary projects. Since his debut in 2000, Darwish’s poems have been translated into ten languages, most recently in Je me lèverai un jour, a selection of his poetry in French translation. In a balanced manner, his work bridges the gap between poetry and politics, powerfully illuminating social reality.
