I’m reading my poem Aleppo in Manhattan, New York City.

My poem Aleppo will be on display at Pleiades Gallery, Manhattan, New York City from 11 June until 6 July where it will be displayed with Heather Stivinson’ s exhibition Borders and Boundaries. Opening reception: 13 June, 6-8pm. It will be followed on Saturday 6 July with a special event: Ekphrasis: A Poetry Reading with live speakers and with me, as the only non-American, reading from a pre-recording. If any of you can get to New York, do visit the show. I’m thrilled to be a part of it. You can hear my recording and see some of Heather Stivison’s pictures on the press release link here: https://www.heatherstivisonart.com/borders-and-boundaries
