 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm\n\nLUSH Liverpool\, 3rd floor events space\n£6 / Pay Wh
 at You Can Book Tickets\n\nPoet Mona Kareem launches her fiercely unapolo
 getic new book of poetry at LUSH Liverpool. \n\nA stateless Bidoon poet\,
  Mona Kareem’s work is internationally acclaimed for its power and imm
 ediacy from her first publication at the age of 14. The collection compris
 es poetry spanning her career so far\, presenting them together in English
  translation for the first time\, side by side with the original Arabic.\n
 \n“‘Mona Kareem skips and leaps across her poems with the patience of 
 one who believes in the power of silences\, of blank spaces\, that can lib
 erate perception from the hyperreflex of easy identification” – Fady 
 Joudah \n\nWinning fans around the world\, her poems are surreal\, bridgi
 ng the gap between the self and what lies outside. They enact a boundless 
 porosity between the body\, nature\, and the material world. Kareem plays
  with language to explore the infinite depths of human experience and iden
 tity. These poems\, with dates\, times and places obscured\, present us wi
 th new maps of precarious\, unstable\, and permeable geopolitics. Kareem d
 elineates ‘rupture’ as a facet of the migrant’s experience. \n\nThi
 s will be a powerful event of bilingual readings in Arabic and English\, a
 nd discussion of timely\, ever-present and universal themes\, celebrating 
 the wonder of language and the possibilities of poetry to convey the most 
 difficult experiences\, as Kareem is joined in conversation with her edito
 r\, Nashwa Nasreldin. \n\nNashwa Nasreldin is a writer\, editor\, and a 
 translator of Arabic literature. She is the translator of the collaborativ
 e novel\, Shatila Stories\, from Peirene Press\, and Talib al-Rifae’
 s novel Shadow of the Sun\, which is forthcoming from Banipal Books. She 
 is a contributing editor of ArabLit.org and ArabLit Quarterly\, and holds
