Poetry Salon with Claire Keyes on Naomi Shihab Nye and Mosab Abu Toha
On Thursday, Feb. 15, the Poetry Salon will meet from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. to read and discuss the poetry of Naomi Shihab Nye, a Palestinian-American, and Mosab Abu Toha, a Palestinian from Gaza. Along with a Guggenheim Fellowship and other honors for her poetry, Nye has won numerous awards for her books for younger readers. In her praise for Mosab Abu Toha, Nye has described him as “almost a seer with his eloquent lyrical vernacular, his visions of life, continuity, time, possibility and beauty.”
The Salon is conducted by Claire Keyes and meets at Abbot Public Library in its temporary location at 3 Brook Road in Marblehead. Join us from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. in person or via Zoom. To attend via Zoom, please register in advance for this meeting at tinyurl.com/Feb-2024-Poetry. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. No registration required for in-person attendance.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of Abbot Public Library.
