Detroit-based poet Reem Abou-Samra brings decades of poetry to share on themes of fracture, merging and identity. Join Abou-Samra for an evening of poetry, including works from her two collections — just: enough and Fractured: Between Truth and Lies. Between her sets, two students and one alumnus will also perform poetry to complement the featured artist. This FREE event will take place on Thursday, Nov. 14 at 5:30 p.m. in the McNichols Campus Library, Bargman Room.
Through her poetry, Abou-Samra shares her experiences and reflections as an activist, mother, Muslim and Syrian-American. She has been performing for two decades in Detroit and supports open mics and other opportunities for artists in the region. In addition, she is a scholar of Political Science, Middle Eastern Studies and Islamic Studies and currently teaches at both University of Michigan Dearborn and Ann Arbor.
All are welcome. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
