Salīm Barakāt’s Intermediary Existence: His Poem Maḥmūd Darwīsh
Öz
In
January this year, with my first article on Salīm Barakāt, Empire, Split
Ethnicities, and an Explosion of Poetry, I introduced Barakāt’s early writings
saying that guidelines to understanding the poetry of the Kurdish poet Salīm
Barakāt (b. 1951, Qamishli, Syria) are to be found in a poem by his friend,
Palestinian poet Maḥmūd Darwīsh (b.
1941, al-Birweh, Palestine – d. 2008). I now present guidelines to
understanding the mature output of both these poets guided by Barakāt’s poem
“Maḥmūd Darwīsh” (1984 – 2002). Barakāt’s multi-layered substantially
surrealistic poem also serves as an ‘index to the acts of the wind.’ In the
same period, Syrian Alevi poet Adūnīs (Ali Ahmad Said Esber, b. 1930) published
his book al-Sūfiyya wal Surriyāliyya (Sufism and Surrealism) (Dar al-Saqi,
1995), and then his poem Fihris li-A‘māl al-Rīḥ (Index to the Acts of the
Wind) (1998) exemplifying the theories of the book. I have included
translations of salient whole poems.
