AWW23: The Poetry of Dispossession - Julia Cimafiejeva, Mohammed El-Kurd, Hasib Hourani & Jeanine Leane

Chair: Sara Saleh


Writing poetry in exile gives new meaning to what John Keats
referred to as the poet’s “negative capability“ and their power
to exist in uncertainties. How does one write from and about
absence? Are the caesuras and repetitions of poetry uniquely
suited to the subject of dispossession? Join Mohammed El-Kurd,
Julia Cimafiejeva, Jeanine Leane and Hasib Hourani as they
reflect on the power of poetry during uncertain times.
