Nacido en 1939, vio cómo los judíos sionistas ocuparon su tierra y humillaron a su pueblo. Pasó a formar parte de la minoría árabe en los Territorios Ocupados y fue su propia vida y la historia de su país lo que le impulsó a reclamar la libertad de Palestina mediante la palabra. Poeta y luchador, recoge en sus versos el alma y la historia de su tiempo, siempre comprometido y trasladando al mundo su realidad. La poesía de Samih al-Qasim es de raíz política y cada uno de sus versos es reivindicación y lucha por una causa justa. Consciente de su papel en el momento que le tocó vivir, escribe con lucidez, franqueza, confianza y certeza, defendiendo la causa palestina sin miedo y hasta el último pulso de sus venas.
