Book Talk: An Interartistic Dialogue Between Visual Poetry and Visual Art In-person
Join WMU author Hedy Habra in discussing her fourth poetry collection, Or Did You Ever See The Other Side? These ekphrastic poems focus on the feminine and are inspired by contemporary and surrealist women artists from different ethnicities and nationalities, including Helen Zughaib, Reem Bassous, Marilene Sawaf, Safia Farhat, and numerous Latin American artists such as Remedios Varo, Juanita Guccione, Leonora Carrington, Ana Mendieta, among others. Most poems explore women’s voices as well as social and political issues.
Eleven of these poems were nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. More information on Habra and her other works is available on her website https://www.press53.com/hedy-habra
