Emerging from both memory and imagination, these poems trace the contours of hillscapes and villages, mapping a Palestine that is both historical and mythic, personal and collective. In Zaqtan's hands, language threads its way through time--winding across landscapes marked by war, displacement, and enduring beauty. Each poem feels like part of a longer thread: a moment lifted from an ongoing inner epic, stitched into being with dreamlike clarity and haunting precision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Long meditative pieces drift through shadow and sunlight, while other poems strike with the sharpness of remembered incident. This is poetry as pilgrimage--quiet, persistent, and full of echoes. A book that doesn't so much end as continue resonating long after the last page is turned. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ghassan Zaqtan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1803096063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803096063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Ghassan Zaqtan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48154181763327,"sku":"9781803096063","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0b9f285-df99-415e-b96c-012b5e7be593.jpg?v=1770788442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-town-i-never-told-ghassan-zaqtan-9781803096063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
