Poetry Translation Centre: Somali Week: Trailblazing Women Poets
Fri 25 Oct 2024 to Fri 25 Oct 2024
Join us for a special evening of Somali poetry in translation. We’ll be treated to poems by Asha Lul Mohamed Yusuf and Yasmin Mohamad Kahin, two trailblazing Somali women writers based in London and Ethiopia. This exciting dual language reading takes place as part of Somali Week and London Literature Festival.
It’s the first time Yasmin’s work has been translated into English, and we’ll hear from all the translators, Maxamad Xasan ‘Alto’, Clare Pollard and Anna Selby, about the collaborative translation process.
Poetry is vital to Somali identity and culture - if you've never been to a Somali poetry reading before, don’t miss it.
Date: Friday 25 October 2024
Location: Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room, London
