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.
