Rim Zahra Reads Ghada Samman at The Sitting Room (Finding our Wings Poems)

The event was held, in part, to benefit The Sitting Room's sister organization, THE LIVING ROOM, a daytime shelter for homeless women and children. If you would like to help, please consider dollar donations along with food, diapers, etc., and/or as a volunteer. Have a look the Living Room's website, www.thelivingroomsc.org, or give them a call, 707-579-0142. The event took place at The Sitting Room's Annual Harvest Supper with a program of Arabic poetry read by Rim Zahra, from her recently published translation of Ghada Samman's poetry collection entitled Arab Women in Love and War: Fleeting Eternities.
