Poetry Reading
60 seconds
TWO POLITICAL POETS HELD A READING OF THEIR POETRY IN THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR LIBRARY LAST NIGHT
AROUND 100 STUDENTS CAME TO LISTEN TO HAYAN CHARARA AND FANDY JOUDAH AT THE FREE EVENT
MANY STUDENTS INCLUDING SOPHOMORE MARISA GOMEZ ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE AUTHORS READ THEIR CONTROVERSIAL POEMS OUT LOUD
GOMEZ SAID SHE PREFEERED THIS EVENT COMPARED TO PAST POETRY EVENTS BECAUSE THE TWO AUTHORS COMPLIMENTED EACH OTHER QUITE WELL
THE POETS READ THEIR POEMS THAT TALKED ABOUT LIFE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, ANIMAL CRUILTY, AND THE EFFECTS OF WAR
JOUDAH WAS THE WINNER FOR THE 2007 YALE YOUNGER POETS AWARD FOR HIS POETRY COLLECTION TITLED THE EARTH IN THE ATTIC
CHARARA AUTHORED TWO POETRY COLLECTIONS TITLED THE SADNESS OF OTHERS AND THE ALCHEMIST DIARY.
THE EVENT WAS SPONSORED BY THE SAN JOSE STATE CENTER FOR LITERARY ARTS AND THE POETRY CENTER OF SAN JOSE.
