An Evening with Gabeba Baderoon

Informed by her childhood in apartheid South Africa, her schooling in England, and her arrival in the United States, the poetry of Gabeba Baderoon charts a personal geography. Through her three collections, she bears witness to moments of loss and recognition, contemplating cultural displacement and encounter and conjuring new visions of the world she inhabits. Baderoon, a Penn State University professor of Women’s Studies and African Studies, will perform a poetry reading of her recent work.

This event is co-sponsored by the Clark Lecture Fund and the English Department.
