Syrian Poets, or Why I Love the Middle East Every Single Country Including Syria
Last night we went with TWO VERY GOOD POETS, Marianela Medrano and Ralph Nazareth, to hear more Very Good Poets, from Syria. Adonis to Lina Yazji.
We all went to CUNY Graduate Center nondescript as every classroom entirely full Syrian poets translators teachers of their poems and so a different room from Latina poets Indian or American poets rich guttural dark hairy room listen to those Arabic voices language of jasmine and pine nuts from deep in the heart from the throat from somewhere I'd like to know.
