[Kuhl, Nancy]

Critically acclaimed Palestinian poet Ghassan Zaqtan
and award-winning fellow poet and translator Fady Joudah
to appear at Yale on October 15 as part of 15-venue U.S. tour

On October 15, Ghassan Zaqtan, a leading poet of the Arab world, and award-winning poet and translator Fady Joudah will appear together at Yale's Whitney Humanities Center as part of a month-long U.S. tour that will take them to 15 venues in support of Joudah's inspired and critically acclaimed translation of Zaqtan's work, Like a Straw Bird It Follows Me, and Other Poems. The volume, published by Yale University Press earlier this year as part of its highly praised Margellos World Republic of Letters translation series, brings to English-language readers the best work by one of the most important and original Palestinian poets of our time.

The event at Yale will be a poetry reading at 5:00 PM on Monday, October 15 in Room 208 of the Whitney Humanities Center, which is sponsoring the two poets' appearance here. The reading is free and open to the public.

The press release with full details & itinerary of the U.S. tour is attached as a PDF.
