Happy Birthday, Mourid Barghouti! Another year wiser and still poetically unstoppable. Your words have traveled far beyond Ramallah—translated into English, Spanish, and countless hearts worldwide. From "I Saw Ramallah" to the powerful verses of "Midnight and Other Poems," your literary journey continues to inspire us all.Today we celebrate not just another candle on your cake but also every poetic line that earned you the prestigious Palestine Award for Poetry in 2000. May this birthday bring as much joy as discovering a perfectly rhymed stanza or finally finding that elusive metaphor hiding behind midnight's small sun. Cheers!
