Najwan Darwish, one of the foremost Arabic language poets of his generation, was born in Jerusalem in 1978, exactly thirty years after his family was exiled from their home in the western part of the city. Shortly after becoming a lawyer, he decided to give up law and devote himself to literature. Since the publication of his first collection in 2000, Darwish’s poetry has been acclaimed across the Arab world and has been translated into fifteen languages. In 2009, he was on the Hay Festival Beirut’s list of the "best 39 Arab authors under the age of 39." 納捷宛．達爾維什，阿拉伯文年輕詩人，其成就在同輩中尤為突出。達爾維什1978 年生於耶路撒冷，那年剛好是他的父母被趕出耶路撒冷西部的三十週年。在約旦安曼學習法律，當上律師不久後，他即轉投文學事業，在巴勒斯坦國內兩本文化雜誌任編輯一職，並在2006 至2012 年期間為黎巴嫩當地大報《Al-Akhbar》撰寫文化評論。達爾維什於2000年出版自己的第一本詩集，此後揚名阿拉伯世界，他的詩已給翻譯成十五種語言在世界各地出版。2009 年，達爾維什獲貝魯特文學節選為「39 歲以下39 位最佳阿拉伯文作家」之一。
