A reading of Poets against War takes place tomorrow Oct 25th in the Focus Theatre on Pembroke Lane between 11 am and 1pm. The reading coincides with a demonstration against the Occupation of Iraq due to take place in Washington DC and is part of an international series of readings.
The guest of honour at the reading is Ibrahim Nasrallah
Nasrallah was born in Ilwihdat refugee camp in Jordan in 1954. He studied in UNRWA schools in the camp and got his teaching degree from a training college in the camp. He moved to Saudi Arabia and worked as a teacher between the years of 1976-1978. Nasrallah then returned to Jordan and worked at Dostur, Afaq and Hasad newspapers. He is in charge of cultural activities at Darat-al-Funun in Amman. Nasrallah received numerous awards: The Award for Best Poetry Collection published in Jordan, The Arar literary Award for his body of work, and the Jordanian Writers Society Honorary prize three times for three of his poetry collections, and the prestigious Sultan Oweiss Award in 1998. He is a member of the Sakakini General Assembly. In 2001 Nasrallah donated all proceeds from his poetry collection "Maraya Al-Malai'ka" (Mirrors of Angels) to the Sakakini. The collection was written in tribute to Iman Hijjo, the infant girl who was killed by the Israeli shelling of Gaza on May 7th 2001.

Other readers include David Lordan, Steve Daunt and Deirdre Clancy. Street Rappers The Man And the Machine will provide the music.

The reading is supported by Flying Colours Poetry Festival and the Irish Anti War Movement.

Learn to post proper advertisements, that give clear and concise information and don't require the potential costumer to do excess research. Honestly, do they teach you nothing in Business Studies these days?

Now, lets us march on Dublin and destroy the jackeens once and for all.
