'Catastrophe' is an electrifying poem by the Somali poet Xasan Daahir Weedhsame. A howl of anguish about the displacement of the Somali people, it offers a new perspective on the devastating refugee crisis playing out on our shores, and a message of hope to all who have had to flee their homes.
We will publish ‘Catastrophe’ as a dual-language poem-poster, including an English translation by British poet Daljit Nagra and scholar Martin Orwin and an illustration by the artist Bryan Talbot.
