Words: Readings in Two Languages

Ahmed Al Mulla, the groundbreaking Saudi poet whose vivid prose has gained him critical acclaim across the Arab World, will share a number of his poems in both the original Arabic and in English translation alongside musical accompaniment on the oud. Al Mulla will then discuss his work, its meaning, and creative expression today in the Middle East at a Q&A session. The performance will be followed by a reception with an open wine and beer bar from 7:30pm to 8:30pm.
