Thanks for the link, yes a beautiful article linking these two courageous poets. I first came across Kanafani when I read Edward Said’s “The Question of Palestine” way back in 1979 and he was one the people Said dedicated the book to.
While we honour this great Palestinian poet perhaps this is time to remember another great Palestinian poet Ghassan Kanafani also assassinated by the occupation forces in 1972. May these literary giants provide inspiration to the generation of Palestinians that will be finally free.

Louis Allday beautifully weaved together Ghassan and Refaat's martyrdom in his tribute to the latter. Here: https://electronicintifada.net/content/what-existence-worth-martyrdom-refaat-alareer/42491
