Talk | Politics of Poetics: Solmaz Sharif and Wafaa Bilal
About the Event
Politics of Poetics is a series of readings and workshops that highlights influential contemporary poets whose practices traverse the political through writing, teaching, and activism. This summer, Solmaz Sharif—winner of the 2017 American Book Award for poetry for her book Look—joins artist Wafaa Bilal for a reading and conversation on shared themes in their work, including investigations of contemporary warfare and its aftermath involving the US, Iran, and Iraq.
This event follows an earlier workshop with Sharif.
