daily nightmares: ten poems
first edition, 1988.
"in this collection of ten very moving poems, fadwa tuqan depicts the dufferings of the palestinian people, their memories of happier days when they ploughed their fields and celebrated the seasons, when they raised their children and lived productive lives. this was before their country was flooded with 'waters of darkness.'
she portrays the happenings in palestine and ponders over the terror in ireland and the war in vietnam and sees 'bloody cain standing erect in every place.'
her poems are sad songs that sing movingly of the horrors of occupation and of the injustice imposed on her people."
