This morning’s event is the introduction to a very special StAnza day, featuring poetry and poets who explore questions of exile / migration / belonging / tracing one’s roots. Marjorie Lotfi, poet and director of Open Book, will chair a discussion with Gezim Hadjari, who has lived in exile from Albania in the UK and Italy since 1992; Yousif M. Qasmiyeh, whose recent collection Writing the Camp draws upon his experiences of the Baddawi Refugee camp in Lebanon; and Hannah Lowe, whose research and writing explores the experience and legacy of those who travelled on the Empire Windrush, and post-war Caribbean migration to Britain.

This event has been sponsored by the Italian Cultural Institute in Edinburgh, and also supported by Fisher and Donaldson.
