Catastrophe ­ Galiilyo, an Illustrated Poem

---

Saturday 29th July 2017 update:

'Catastrophe' is an electrifying poem by the Somali poet Xasan Daahir Weedhsame, published by the Poetry Translation Centre.

A howl of anguish about the displacement of the Somali people, it's a dual-language poem-poster, including an English translation by BBC Radio 4 poet-in-residence Daljit Nagra and scholar Martin Orwin and two illustrations by Bryan Talbot.

The original artwork of the cover, the large interior illustration, two extra illustrations (all in full watercolour) and a signed edition of 10 line prints are all being offered for sale to raise funds for publication.

You can back the project at Indiegogo.
