Painted Into A Corner

by Faysal Mikdadi

Overview

A collection of passionate and deeply felt poems accompanied by an image each with several images being reproductions of the poet's own water colours.

Mikdadi has always worked for peace between Israel and Palestine. These poems reflect his difficult road on the journey to the so far unattainable peace. This difficult road was full of disappointments, upsets, hurts and recurring hope. These endless emotions are reflected in these beautiful and, at times, quite disturbing poems.

About the Author

Faysal Mikdadi, born in Palestine in 1948, was carried to Lebanon where he was brought up and given his rather unsuccessful education. He moved to Britain in 1967 and has lived there since. He is an English Literature specialist with a keen interest in the Nineteenth Century Victorian novel and in Shakespeare. His published works include novels, poems, short stories, bibliographies, educational essays and regular contributions on current affairs.

He started writing at a very early age during a turbulent and unhappy childhood. His urge to write comes from a deeply felt need to try to make sense of a disordered and crazy world and to laugh at his own rather stodgy attitudes to a much sought after quiet life. It also comes from his need to laugh at others� predictable higgledy piggledy existence and to celebrate his deep love of nature � the only place in which he sees any order and a semblance of logic.

These poems were composed at various times over the years. They, and the few paintings by the author, included, were the poet�s attempts to make some sense out of the incomprehensible.
