The Life and Poetry of Annasoltan Kekilova Festival of Languages - Pay What You Can £6.00 / £4.00
This talk by Orhan Elmaz examines the life and poetry of Annasoltan Kekilova (1942-1983), a Turkmen poet whose writing engages questions of women's lives, longing, homeland, and resistance. It places her work in the context of Soviet repression and argues for her importance as a compelling poetic voice that remains under-read and rarely heard.
