	[X] : Palestinian Poet and Translator Pack the House
		Self-taught in short-story writing, and later poetry, Ali said he was once told to “leave the poetry to the poets,” but today is part of a new movement of free verse poets who stray from the “formal verse that characterizes most Arabic” poetry, Cole said.
		Many of Ali’s poems center on his childhood when, according to the Poetry Center’s short biography of the poet, he was forced to leave his small village in Saffuriyya and flee to Lebanon during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
		Returning a year later to a place his village had once been, Cole said many of Ali’s poems are a “memory of his village, or echo of destruction,” at the same time, Cole said, they are “highly musical” and “worked out with great artistry.”

		Palestinians who had left their homes during the period of armed conflict, but remained in what had become Israeli territory, were considered to be "present absentees", and in some cases refused permission to return to their original homes, which were expropriated and turned over to state ownership, as was the property of other Palestinian refugees.
		Notable cases of "present absentees" include the residents of Saffuriyya and the Galilee villages of Kafr Bir'im and Iqrit.
		The legal efforts by residents of Kafr Bir'im and Iqrit to be allowed to return to their homes have continued into the 21st Century.
