What I'm Reading....

I'm presently reading a delicious book written by the Palestinian poet Shatha Abu Hnaish titled A Love That Hovers Like a Bedeviling  Mosquito, translated by Francesca Bell and Noor Asder Al A'bed. 

These poems are short and awash with a voice that is packed with image & emotion.  Translating these poems into English so that  more are touched by them is an enormous literary gift. 

After the first reading, this is a great night stand book for when you have five or ten minutes to read and meditate before lights out.
