After Mahmoud Darwish's death in 2008, his friend Breyten Breytenbach was inspired to create this collection of poems honoring him. There is much fertile common ground the two poets share: a guiding empathy, an uncompromising commitment to truth and humanity, and a language- and dreamscape rooted in love and hope. Voice Over is Breytenbach's passionate and elegiac exploration "to look for Darwish among the words."
Voice Over: A Nomadic Conversation with Mahmoud Darwish
and over one million other books are available for Amazon Kindle.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Definitely a writer worth looking into, this creative powerhouse will give you some real literature to sink your teeth into."
—Carpe Libris
"Voice Over is a short but affecting sequence, with a slightly experimental feel to it, its author trying to come to grips with the death of his friend and colleague through a variety of approaches. A beautiful little pocket-sized pamphlet-volume, it is well-worthwhile."
—The Complete Review
"Breytenbach's passionate desire to know and serve the truth, whatever it may be and whomever it might offend, is deeply admirable."
—The Washington Post
"The journey continues and the conversation will carry on, in the attempt to look for Mahmoud Darwish among the words."
