World in Verse: A Virtual Poetry Reading (2022)

A multilingual reading and celebration of poetry in translation, held in partnership with the Academy of American Poets. Poetry in Arabic, French, Malay, Spanish, and English, with readings by Samira Negrouche and translator Marilyn Hacker; Zahid M. Naser and translator Pauline Fan; Jeannette Clariond and translator Samantha Schnee; and translator Kareem James Abu-Zeid.
The poems featured at the reading were also published in Words Without Borders and in POETS.org’s Poem-a-Day series throughout September 2022, which was National Translation Month. While we cannot gather in person this year, we look forward to convening virtually with you and these fantastic translators and poets based around the world to celebrate the power of poetry to bring us together across languages, cultures, and continents.
