"Short Conversations with Poets: Khaled Mattawa"
"I think as a poet, perhaps from the beginning, who was drawn to be a chronicler of one’s times, I always found history—or the question of how did we get here—very important. The idea of shared, or in some cases repeated, histories is also important."

What Sparks Poetry:
Alana Marie Levinson-LaBrosse on "Resurrection"
"This element of Kurdish delights me: to crack a word open and peer inside it, to find a world within a word, a world where the abstract is embodied. The Kurdish language calls the body into every conversation, fashioning idea from body. There is no hiding the body, not even to protect it." |
