The life of the Arab world's most celebrated poet is over. We ask: How will all those touched by the work of Mahmoud Darwish remember him? In this day and age, is the pen really mightier than the sword? Can the pen mobilize the conscious of the masses to pick up the sword? Mahmoud Darwish was, after all, a poet and not a politician.
