State of EmergencyT01848145777
A unique opportunity to hear three poets from Algeria, Albania and Jordan read from and discuss their poetry. Luljeta Lleshanaku is regarded as the leading lyric poet in Albania. She grew up under house arrest and until the early 1990s was not allowed to attend university or publish her poems. Her new collection Haywire is a Poetry Book Society recommendation. Soleiman Adel Guemar's poetry sings of life's pleasures in the face of violent political oppression. Jordanian poet Amjad Nasser's Shepherd of Solitude - Selected Poems is his first collection in English. He co-founded the Al-Quds Al-Arabi daily newspaper, has published six collections of poetry and his poems have been translated into French, Italian, Spanish and German.
