SUMMARY:Authors: Peter Cole and Iman Mersal (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:If only this evening could be staged in the same room\, as we range around a good part of the world in hosting three poets – Peter Cole and Iman Mersal virtually at 5 p.m. – and another\, Naveen Kishore in store at 7 p.m. Between them\, the U.S.\, Israel/Palestine\, Egypt\, Canada\, and India\, with their poetic and literary concerns extending beyond whatever borders those nationalities might pose. This 5 p.m virtual program returns poet/translator/editor Peter Cole to Elliott Bay to read from his newest collection\, Draw Me After (Farrar\, Straus & Giroux)\, and it helps introduce an overdue major collection of one of the world’s major poets\, Iman Mersal with her new book\, The Threshold (translated from the Arabic by Robyn Creswell / Farrar\, Straus & Giroux).  \nPeter Cole’s Draw Me After very much has ‘drawing’ in it\, with work by Terry Winters\, which he dares from\, so to speak.\n“‘Waking the letters from their slumber’: that’s Peter Cole’s mad\, sublime task in these phantasmagoric poems. Every line of this book breaks the literal—the letters—into visionary scenes where sorrow marries joy and blessings almost rhyme with curse. A revelation.” —Rosanna Warren.\n“Peter Cole shows himself in Draw Me After to be our great master of ekphrasis. Visually\, sonically\, rhythmically\, semantically\, his are some of the most inventive\, witty\, profound\, and genuinely beautiful lyric poems of our moment.” —Marjorie Perloff.\nPeter Cole has written several previous books of poems\, including Hymns & Qualms and Rift\, and he has also translated widely from Hebrew and Arabic works—both medieval and modern. With Adina Hoffman\, he has co-written Sacred Trash: The Lost and Found World of the Cairo Geniza and also published books as Ibis Editions. He is the recipient of many honors\, including a Guggenheim Fellowship\, an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature\, the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation\, a National Jewish Book Award\, and a MacArthur Fellowship. He divides his time between Jerusalem and New Haven.  \nJoining us\, we believe\, from Edmonton\, where she is a professor of Arabic language and literature at the University of Alberta is Iman Mersal. The Threshold\, translated by Robyn Creswell\, draws from several of her noted earlier books of poetry ranging back nearly thirty years and coming up to the present – A Dark Alley Suitable for Dance Lessons\, Walking as Long as Possible\, Alternative Geography\, and Until I Give Up the Idea of Home. Her most recent book\, the prose work Traces of Enayat (all of these\, we’re giving translated titles)\, received the Sheikh Zayed Book Award for Literature in 2021.\n“The publication of Iman Mersal’s The Threshold is a major literary event. Long recognized throughout the Arab world and in Europe\, Mersal is one of the strongest confessional (or postconfessional) poets we now have\, in any language: her poems are fueled by a mordant wit\, sensual vibrancy\, and feminist brio. Impatient with pieties—whether political\, erotic\, or poetic—she writes\, like Louise Glück\, with emotional intensity and analytic coolness. This is poetry of earned and perfect pitch: the notations of an impassioned mind. I read The Threshold straight through; it will become a permanent companion.” —Maureen N. McLane. “Undeceived\, ironic\, daring\, Iman Mersal’s poems are animated by a singular sensibility. They deal candidly with real life—migration\, dying parents\, emotional entanglements—and discover general truths among the fine particulars. Robyn Creswell’s translation is deft and subtle\, and the Anglophone world is lucky to have it.” —Nick Laird. \n  \nPeter Cole and Iman MersalTuesday Nov 29 2022 5:00pm – 6:00pm\nVirtually Hosted by Elliott Bay Book Company. \nRegistration/Information

SUMMARY:Iraqi Book Club | Fifteen Iraqi Poets: Dunya Mikhail

SUMMARY:26th Arab Film Festival Shorts: Queer Lens
DESCRIPTION:AFMI’s annual Queer Lens program celebrates the multi-dimensional formations of Arab queerness in stories that so urgently need to be told\, especially in today’s polarized media climate that leaves issues of visibility lost in the haze\, or\, worse: cast in a one-size-fits-all “Western Queer Narrative” that ignores the many complexities and nuances faced by LGBTQ+ persons in the Arab World and beyond. \nThis year’s program theme is Diaspora & Displacement and features 5 award-winning short films that highlight the experiences of Queer Arabs around the globe. The characters in these stories all find themselves at the intersection of their identities. Some must reconcile the reality of their sexuality with a family who loves but does not understand\, others work towards a life lived authentically in a society that does not accept them and a few explore leaving a place that is not safe even though it means letting go of those they care about. In this collection\, audiences will find stories that may be unique in their details but are deeply relatable at their core and despite the difficulties\, celebrate honesty and love. \nJoin us after the screening for Arab + Queer + Film: between here and there a conversation with four of the filmmakers in the Queer Lens program. \nThis program includes the following films: \nHabib & the Thief (Sweden) dir. Naures Sager \nThe Window (Lebanon) dir. Sarah Kaskas \nFaraway (Canada) dir. Aziz Zoromba \nDress Up (United States) dir. Karina Dandashi \nWarsha (Lebanon) dir. Dania Bdeir

SUMMARY:Author Danny Ramadan at Elliott Bay Book Company
DESCRIPTION:Down from his Vancouver home where\, in addition to writing\, Danny Ramadan has been an activist and advocate\, in particular for LGBTQ+ refugees from Syria and the Middle East. The author of an award-winning Canadian children’s book\, Salma the Syrian Chef\, and a debut novel that was shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Award\, The Clothesline Swing\, he is here tonight with his new novel\, The Foghorn Echoes (Canongate Books). Set between a Damascus riven by war and Vancouver\, with time spanning a decade\, this is an extraordinary book of hard-sought love between two young men. \n”The Foghorn Echoes is a deeply moving book about conflict both internal and external\, the ways in which cold accidents – of birth\, of place\, of time – can leave a human being at war with their own desires\, their own sense of self. Danny Ramadan is a gifted\, sensitive excavator of the things that break people and put them back together\, the past as weight and lightness. In this novel he has created a world of immense sensory and emotional precision\, at once true in its living details and yet electric with the presence of ghosts.” – Omar El Akkad.\n”The Foghorn Echoes bristles. It burns bright. It shouts into the dark with a voice that hovers between a melody and a lamentation. Danny Ramadan writes in these pages with a spellbinding urgency\, stripping bare some of the most painful and fundamental truths about displacement and grief\, about rage and betrayal. In the process\, he reminds us again and again that even the worst of memories contain redemptive powers. This novel is a tender and impassioned love story for a country\, for a people\, and for all those who refuse to disappear quietly into the land of the forgotten.” – Maaza Mengiste. \nDanny RamadanFriday Nov 11 2022 7:00pm – 8:00pm\nLive/In-Person at Elliott Bay Book Company.\n1521 10th Ave. Seattle\, WA  98122

SUMMARY:Screening of documentary film "Shalal (Looted): A Reel War"
DESCRIPTION:Madafeh: Screening of documentary film “Shalal (Looted): A Reel War\,” directed by Israeli filmmaker Karnit Mandel.\nPlease click here to register for this event. \n\nAbout the Film\nHistory is archived by the victors. While searching in an Israeli archive\, filmmaker Karnit Mandel stumbles across film reels from a long-lost Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) film archive. This never-before-seen footage was seized by Israel during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon\, and Mandel begins to wonder what is so dangerous in it that requires hiding. As the truth of these historical records unravel\, she comes into conflict with the bureaucracy of Israel’s military apparatus\, which denies the possession of additional footage. Will she be able to wrestle back any of this untold history\, or will the reels forever remain buried

SUMMARY:SWANA Style Series: Revival of the Jericho Thobe Ubb
DESCRIPTION:The SWANA Style Saturday Series is a lecture series focused on exploring the traditional dress of cultural communities living in SWANA (Southwest Asia & North Africa). The aim of this series is to bring awareness to styles that have generally been left out of the historical record\, however have great historical origination stories. Our cultural memory must preserve this knowledge for the next generation. \nJericho is the oldest continuously inhabited area in the world. Today\, it is the last Palestinian city before crossing the Allenby Bridge to Jordan. Geological and geographic factors have contributed to its long history of survival and an ideal place for settlement\, making it a source of envy and coveted possession for invaders who have seen Jericho as the key to controlling Palestine. In the oldest continuously inhabited place on earth\, what is the oldest traditional dress worn by the residents? And\, is it still being worn today? \nLearn the answers to these questions\, and more\, at the next installment of SWANA Style Series\, titled “Reviving The Jericho ‘Thobe Ubb’. Learn about Wafa’s most recent discovery of the Thobe Ubb at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City\, a treasure that has yet to be identified in the museum’s catalogue. \nPlease note that you are welcome to register for the lecture and watch the recording at a later time\, because it will be recorded and sent to all registrants within 24 hours of the live event. However\, the recording will be available for a limited time.
