Hussein Barghouthi
Hussein Jamil Barghouthi, also spelled Barghouti, was a Palestinian poet, writer, essayist, critic, lyricist, playwright and philosopher, born in the Palestinian village of Kobar in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate. Barghouthi lived his childhood between Kobar, where his mother lived, and Beirut, where his father worked. An outcast since childhood, seen and treated by his society as different and distant for being unique, he found his friends to be the rocks and trees of his village, and the words of his language.
