Special thanks to Prof. Abdulrazak Gurnah, Dr Norbert Bugeja and the Centre for Postcolonial Studies at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK, and their institutional partners, for a stimulating symposium on Mediterranean Fractures last weekend.
I enjoyed reading my poetry with Stephanos Stephanides, Norbert Bugeja and Caroline Rooney, and then reading a paper on “Alternative Mediterraneans.”
Thanks to all those present for your feedback. I hope we meet again soon to share ideas, poetry and friendship.
