Readings by poets Elmaz Abinader, Kazim Ali, Hayan Charara, and Eliot Khalil Wilson
At no other time in American history has our imagination been so engrossed with the Arab experience. The MFAH and Inprint present a reading and discussion featuring four of today´s foremost Arab American poets. While the work of these po...ets varies, both in form and subject matter, their experiences as Arab Americans and as artists bring them together. These poets, all contributors to Inclined to Speak: An Anthology of Contemporary Arab American Poetry, help to shape our understanding of our diverse national identity. They do so with an astonishing array of poetic sensibilities, engaging culture, politics, loss, art, and language itself.
Presented in conjunction with the MFAH´s recently created permanent gallery, Arts of the Islamic World, this reading will provide an opportunity to participate in a dialogue that is enlightening, original, and heartening.
In addition to reading their poetry, poets will discuss their work in a Q&A session moderated by Hosam Aboul-Ela, Associate Professor of English at the University of Houston.
Admission is open to the public and free with general museum admission. Museum members always receive free admission. A reception and book signing follows the program.
Inprint´s programs are made possible by generous operating support from Houston Endowment Inc., Houston Arts Alliance, Texas Commission on the Arts, The Wawro/Gray Family Foundation, the George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation, The Susan Vaughan Foundation, Inc., Sterling-Turner Foundation, and the Harry S. & Isabel C. Cameron Foundation.
