I think this man is a treasure for palestine
a real creative person : poet , artist and a photographer :
Nasrallah was born in Ilwihdat refugee camp in Jordan in 1954. He studied in UNRWA schools in the camp and got his teaching degree from a training college in the camp. He moved to Saudi Arabia and worked as a teacher between the years of 1976-1978. Nasrallah then returned to Jordan and worked at Dostur, Afaq and Hasad newspapers. He is in charge of cultural activities at Darat-al-Funun in Amman. Nasrallah received numerous awards: The Award for Best Poetry Collection published in Jordan, The Arar literary Award for his body of work, and the Jordanian Writers Society Honorary prize three times for three of his poetry collections, and the prestigious Sultan Oweiss Award in 1998. He is a member of the Sakakini General Assembly. In 2001 Nasrallah donated all proceeds from his poetry collection "Maraya Al-Malai'ka" (Mirrors of Angels) to the Sakakini. The collection was written in tribute to Iman Hijjo, the infant girl who was killed by the Israeli shelling of Gaza on May 7th 2001..
Freedom
Away from the flowerpots
and the scissors of the housewives
in the graveyards the rose bushes whisper:
More sadly -- here -- time passes
but the buds do not know fear
Confession
Yes
the house is a grave with a door and a window
the bedroom is half a shroud
and the bed, half a coffin
You, lady, and no one else
can change the scene
Childhood
Three small dreams, alone
pass through the night
searching for a house
the moment that the shell
pulverised the child's heart
wish u'll find it interesting :)
