An Evening of Lyrical Testimony with Ladan Osman
Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at 5:00pm to 7:00pm
A.D. White House, Guerlac Room 27 East Ave, Ithaca, NY 14853
Osman is concerned with the question of testimony. Whose testimony is valid? Whose testimony is worth recording? Her writing is a lyric and exegetic response to problems of race, gender, displacement, and colonialism. She examines existence in roles where imagination around female ability is limited, in the many spaces where women are so often denied automatic credibility and their logic is assumed fallible. Her work has appeared in Columbia Poetry Review, Prairie Schooner, Rumpus, among others. Osman’s writing has been translated into over 10 languages. She currently lives in Brooklyn.
