Friday 26 January, 7.30pm 

Dukeıs Room, The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne 

Imtiaz Dharker, Choman Hardi, Maria Jastrzebska and Mandy Murray 

Eastbourne International Poetry Evening 


Readings by three poets with highly individual voices that highlight the way

wider political and social patterns distort and colour personal experience

and the perceptions of self and others. 


Imtiaz Dharker was born in Pakistan, grew up a Muslim Calvinist in a Lahori

household in Glasgow and eloped with a Hindu Indian to live in Bombay. She

now lives in London and Bombay and has published three collections of poetry

with Bloodaxe Books, most recently The terrorist at my table. 


Maria Jastrzebska was born in Poland and now lives in Sussex. Her most

recent collection, Syrena, explores themes of family, displacement and

belonging. According to legend, Syrena is a fighting mermaid with sword and

shield that guards the poetıs home city of Warsaw,. 


Choman Hardi was born in Iraqi Kurdistan and lived variously in Iran and

Iraq before her family were finally forced into exile by Saddam Husseinıs

notorious chemical weapon attack on the Kurds. She now lives in Britain and

her first collection of poems in English, published by Bloodaxe, is entitled

Life For Us.  


Plus: heart rending traditional music for solo concertina by Mandy Murray.
