It is also home, country, the place and the time to which one belongs, and for which one longs. In this poem, Jawdat laments a lost homeland and longs for it as a Lebanese who has survived the Lebanese Civil War and the endless Israeli aggressions on his village in South Lebanon. He also longs and laments as an Arab poet, in conversation with his predecessor, the pre-Islamic poet al-Harith b. Hilliza, from whose <em>mu<\/em><em>\u02bf<\/em><em>allaqah<\/em> Jawdat chooses the epigraph. Although arranged on the page as a free verse poem, Jawdat\u2019s \u201cBilad\u201d is a qasida in the same meter and rhyme as that of al-Harith\u2019s poem, making it a <em>mu<\/em>\u02bf<em>\u0101radah<\/em>, a direct response to al-Harith&#8217;s poem in form and content. \u00a0The two poets&#8217; laments against the treacheries of time echo each other across history.<\/p>\n<p>And in this moment of genocide, this moment of Palestinian survival against all odds, I read this poem as an affirmation of the Palestinian right to land, home, freedom, and dignity. \u00a0The Palestinian will to life will persist and resist even when reduced \u201cto rubble and remains.\u201d Palestine belongs to a long tradition of resistance on the land and in the imagination; it belongs to the Arabic language whose memory abounds with triumphs against time and its horrors. And in a moment like this, when \u201cthere is nothing but astonishment in every direction\u201d and \u201call the roads deceive,\u201d this language is \u201chome\/ the land and the sky to us\/ and
