We invite you to an intimate evening of Arabic and English poetry on March 5th to commemorate the 13th anniversary of the bombing of Al-Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad. Each year on March 5th readings are held around the world as both a moment of solidarity with Iraqi people and their artists and writers, reminding us of what they face. But the readings also celebrate the values that Al-Mutanabbi Street holds: free speech, the free exchange of ideas, and the equality that poetry, writing, and art inherently promise.
