We invite you to a Poetry Reading by YA(-)YA AS(-)OUR and a discussion about his experience as a Ga-z-an poet in an age of heightened censorship
YA(-)YA ASHOUR is a poet, mentor, editor, and translator, born and raised in Ga-z-a, who has been exiled in the States since fall of 2023. AS(-)OUR is a touring poet, who served as an author in residence at UCLA, and is the author of the e-book “A Ga-z-a of Siege & Genocide.” Additionally, he is a visiting assistant professor at Pitzer College, making this event all the more special for members of the Claremont community.
