[Amanda J Labagnara]

Dear Poetry Reader,
 
Copper Canyon Press is pleased to announce that Palestinian poet Taha
Muhammad Ali will appear on the Lehrer NewsHour feature "Voices of Conflict:
Poetry of the Middle East," which is scheduled to air on PBS this Thursday,
March 22, 2007. (Check local listings for airtime and channel.)
 
Senior NewsHour correspondent Jeffrey Brown recently traveled to the Middle
East to interview Palestinian and Israeli poets; a blog of his travels is
currently posted at the PBS website. (Click

Taha Muhammad Ali was an international headliner at the 2006 Dodge Poetry
Festival, and his debut American publication, So What: New and Selected
Poems, was the first Arabic translation ever published by Copper Canyon
Press.
