"This will be the first Palestinian book of Portuguese poetry. Or vice versa? Shahd Wadi has made Portugal his home - until going home is possible. As long as Palestine is occupied, the world is Palestine."
Alexandra Lucas Coelho
"Phrases and words in Portuguese, a language I'm still learning, tear at the insides of my Palestinian body. I resist with all my might, only a few manage to escape. My lips tighten at the impossibility of speaking of my body, which is not, of its place, which is never. I won't tell any soul that I can't distinguish "here" from "there". Nor that languages and desires happen in me simultaneously. I can't, I can't, I can't spell the Arabic name of the person who died yesterday in Gaza, or the next day. I close my mouth in front of the story of my family who were expelled from their land after the Palestinian Nakba catastrophe in 1948. (...)
Today I carry this book with me because my body gives up and it's finally a poem.
The flag, the dance, the bougainvillea and the angel come together to unclog the pen of all my failed, obscene and beautiful languages. Without consent, my fire and my poppies come loose and I release my scribbles so that the "mistake" becomes a verse, the people a bird, the exile a return and I a border. I write a poem, a book of poems, so that there will be Jasmine Rain."
