AAWWTV: Decolonial Poetics with Zaina Alsous, Jasmine Gibson & Asiya Wadud

What is the noise of people outside of the state? Come hear three writers share their poetry of clandestine resistance and insurgency across borderlands, from post-Katrina New Orleans and Flint, Michigan to Palestine, and the Mediterranean. We’re excited to host a visit from the out-of-town poet and 2019 Etel Adnan Poetry Prize Winner Zaina Alsous, who will share her work on freedom dreams and Palestine. Poet Jasmine Gibson will read from Don't Let Them See Me Like This, her sensuous debut poetry collection that traces where capitalism becomes ingestion, intimacy becomes militant uprising, and the Black Radical Tradition spells the end of all border regimes. Writer and teacher Asiya Wadud will read from Crosslight for Youngbird, her lyrical collection of poems about forced exodus in the Mediterranean, flight, and present-day migration crises.
