Catastrophe is an electrifying poem by the Somali poet Xasan Daahir Weedhsame translated by Martin Orwin working with British poet Daljit Nagra, and illustrated by the artist Bryan Talbot.
Catastrophe is an electrifying poem by the Somali poet Xasan Daahir Ismaaciil ‘Weedhsame’. A howl of anguish about the displacement of the Somali people, it offers a provocation to western Europe, unable to hold focus on the devastating refugee crisis playing out on our shores, and a message of hope to all who have had to flee their homes to seek sanctuary across the sea.
The Poetry Translation Centre have published Catastrophe as a dual-language poem-poster, including a dazzling English translation by Martin Orwin working with British poet Daljit Nagra. The poster features a specially commissioned illustration by the artist Bryan Talbot.
