One of the longest poems ever written in Arabic literature, Uruk&#x27;s Anthem has been described as beautiful, powerful and courageous and at the same time apocalyptic and terrifying in its unwavering scrutiny of, and opposition to, oppression and dictatorship wherever it occurs in the world. This event will include readings by Adnan and Jenny in Arabic and English followed by a discussion with Jenny Lewis and Ruba Abughaida about the process of translating Adnan&#x27;s work for a UK audience.
