Summary: "I chose to be a Trojan poet. I'm resolutely in the camp of the losers. The losers who are deprived of the right to leave a trace of their defeat and deprived of the right of proclaiming it. I'm inclined to speak of defeat, but there is no question of surrender." So said Mahmoud Darwish, as we learned from a new collection of poetry with the late, great Palestinian poet. We also talk about protests in Lebanon and freedom of the press in Egypt.
