An Intertwining of Voices: Langston, Shaali and Karim | Zohra Saed | TEDxCUNYSalon

"In this paiwand, interlinking of Black American poet, Uzbek, Turkmen, Kyrgyz poets, I see the singularity of Hughes’s voice reverberating with multiple layers of voices that he maintained, preserved and returned to the world as counter memory." Zohra Saed is the co-editor of One Story, Thirty Stories: An Anthology of Contemporary Afghan American Literature (University of Arkansas Press), editor of Langston Hughes: Poems, Photos, and Notebooks from Turkestan (Lost & Found, The CUNY Poetics Documents Initiative); and Woman. Hand/Pen. (Belladonna Chaplet). Her essays on the Central Asian diaspora have appeared in Eating Asian America (NYU Press) and The Asian American Literary Review. She co-founded UpSet Press, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit indie press, with poet Robert Booras. She holds a PhD In American Literature from The CUNY Grad Center, and MFA in Poetry from Brooklyn College. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
