SUMMARY:Community Poetry & Tea
DESCRIPTION:Join us to appreciate the poems by Moroccan poet Abdellatif Laa
 bi and enjoy the afternoon with tea featuring the Moroccan Tea ceremony by
  Moroccan Artist Nizar Gartit.\n\nLed by Robin Lampman\, a poem called “
 My Mother’s Language” by Abdellatif Laabi will be read in English\, Fr
 ench\, and Arabic by our community members. Abedallatif Laabi is Morocco
 ’s most famous poet. He wrote primarily in French but is also famous for
  his translations of poems by other poets written in Arabic.   In the 19
 70’s Laabi was imprisoned for eight years for “crimes of opinion.” 
 He was freed when there was an international outcry by artists\, poets\, a
 nd human rights advocates. He was the first translator of the Palestinian 
 poet\, Mamoud Darwish\, from Arabic into French and English. Laabi’s poe
 try is an inspiration to all humanity and will serve as inspiration for pa
 rticipants to write a poem of their own and to share their thoughts in thi
 s beautiful public green space on this summer day in East Harlem.
