Today I’ve gone back to Choman Hardi’s Considering the Women.
An important book with a central sequence of poems about the Anfal genocide of the Kurds in 1988 in which over a hundred thousand people were killed. I have heard her read twice at Aldebugh and in London at the Poet’s quest for peace. There are two sequences on youtube of her reading from Considering the Women
and an earlier interview about the importance of poetry.
