CMENAS 2024 Fall Colloquium Series. Lyric Documentation: A Discussion of Mare Nostrum
Khaled Mattawa, William Wilhartz Endowed Professor of English Language and Literature at the University of Michigan
Mattawa’s poetry in his volume
Mare Nostrum “integrates information and poetic form to bear witness to the plight of migrants and confront the issue of indifference and forgetfulness.” Critics have observed that the poems in this volume “serve as a powerful tool to humanize the migrant experience, raising awareness and mobilizing global consciousness.” Prof. Mattawa will discuss how integrated research and fieldwork can produce poems in a mode that he calls “Lyric Documentation.”
