Update: New Pages, such as Poetry Reading Videos

I don’t know if any of you have noticed but I’ve been updating pages on my site with photos and videos of poetry readings and performances…drop menus! (It was exciting for me because it took me forever to figure out how to do it. You can remain unimpressed. I’ll understand.) Just to give you aContinue reading “Update: New Pages, such as Poetry Reading Videos”

Going Out into “Space”

Space or מרחב/Merhav in Hebrew, is a multilingual poetry journal based in Tel Aviv that I felt I had to get in touch with the moment I discovered them. I wrote one of the editors, “I’m a multilingual poetry club. You’re a multilingual poetry journal. Let’s get married!” While we haven’t ‘gotten married’ yet, I had theContinue reading “Going Out into “Space””

Pico Iyer Asks: “Where is Home?” I Say: “Home is Babel”

Pico Iyer asks: “Where is home?” I say: “Home is Babel.” In this amazing TED talk (I know, I know, ALL TED Talks are amazing, but this one is special!) Pico Iyer just articulated everything I already knew but am just beginning to coherently express about myself. I am debating whether or not to tellContinue reading “Pico Iyer Asks: “Where is Home?” I Say: “Home is Babel””

This event is from June 3, 2013 at Tmol Shilshom, a bookstore cafe restaurant in Jerusalem, made famous for being a place where “Israel’s best known writers read from their works.” These days, it isContinue reading “Young Writers’ Evening at Tmol Shilshom”

See For Yourself~Poets of Babel’s 1st Anniversary Videos

It took me a while, perhaps too long, but I have still abided by my old rule of sharing “before the next event,” which will be next Monday, June 24th. Instead of telling you how it was, I’m just going to let you listen for yourself. It’ll be almost like you didn’t miss a thing.Continue reading “See For Yourself~Poets of Babel’s 1st Anniversary Videos”

Poets of Babel’s Rebirth: 1 Year Anniversary at the Jerusalem Cinematheque and Beyond

Poets of Babel is metamorphosing into a larger, less familiar creature. It started in my home with only two rules: (1) Read in any language as long as there was someone who understood (bring a friend!) and (2) Everyone participates. I had to break rule number one very early on. Sometimes there was only oneContinue reading “Poets of Babel’s Rebirth: 1 Year Anniversary at the Jerusalem Cinematheque and Beyond”
