SUMMARY:'The Tent Generations: Palestinian Poems' - Book talk with Mohammed
  Sawaie
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Friday\, August 25 f
 or our next in-person cultural event\, a discussion with Dr. Mohammed Sawa
 ie on his new book of translated Palestinian poetry\, The Tent Generations
 .\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nThe Tent Generations brings together the work of a select 
 number of Palestinian poets over the past seven decades who gives expressi
 on to the Palestinian experience under Israeli rule and Israeli occupation
 \, as well as the experience of dispersion and displacement from their hom
 eland following the Nakba and subsequent wars. This collection shows how P
 alestinian poets used their poetry to describe their relationship to the P
 alestinian people\, their homeland\, and the presence of an Israeli occupi
 er in their midst.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDr. Mohammad Sawaie’s lifelon
 g love for the Arabic language has made him an authority on the sociolingu
 istic\, historical\, and grammatical aspects of Arabic. His “Fundamental
 s of Arabic Grammar” (Routledge 2014) has helped transform the teaching 
 of Arabic in North America. “The Tent Generations” is the latest title
  in an impressive bibliography of over ten books in English and Arabic\, w
 hich can be found in libraries worldwide\, including “Linguistic Variati
 on and Speaker’s Attitudes: A Sociolinguistic Study of Some Arabic Diale
 cts” (1994)\, and “Arabic-Speaking Migrants in the United States and C
 anada: a Bibliographical Guide with Annotation” (1985).\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nSa
 waie\, Professor of Arabic at the University of Virginia\, is a self-descr
 ibed “passionate reader of both English and Arabic on issues related to 
 Arabic literary production\, the Middle East generally and Palestine in pa
 rticular”\, a passion that comes through in “The Tent Generations”. 
 An avid gardener as well as researcher\, he has brought “the search for 
 translatable poets and poems were not translated previously\, or unknown t
 o English readers” to create a work of exquisite beauty and profound eth
 ical engagement.\n\n\n\n
