Mizna Release Party February 19th!

2/13/2015

0 Comments

 
Join Mizna at local independent bookstore, Magers and Quinn to celebrate the two newest issues of our literary journal. Readings from local authors, and a special group reading of "#civilpoem," a community response to the firing of Professor Steven Salaita by University of Illinois for his so-called "uncivil" Tweets.

Readings are from two issues of Mizna: Prose, Poetry, and Art Exploring Arab America. Volume 15, Issue 1--"Eating the Other," focusing on the politics of food; and Volume 15, Issue 2--a selection of proceedings from the recent RAWI + Mizna literary conference, held at Open Book in September 2014.


"Mizna is an organization devoted to promoting Arab-American culture, providing a forum for its expr...ession. We value diversity in our community and are committed to giving voice to Arab Americans through literature and art."

Live readings, food, and drink.
Catering generously donated by Zakia Deli

    It's my second attempt at blogging; my first was here. And the blog archive for one of my former reading series, the Imaginary Press Reading Series, is here.
