The Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation and the Ministry in Charge of Moroccans Living Abroad conclude the MENARA Project reading club in 2013 with a meeting between authors Nisrin Ibn Larbi and Yolanda Aldón.
After a tour of several Andalusian cities and one Moroccan city, Seville and the headquarters of the Fundación Tres Culturas will be the city and institution that will host the 7th MENARA reading club. Literature and the word have been the basis for achieving the common objective of this club; to deepen relations between Spain and Morocco and to bring the reader closer to the intellectual production (poetry, narrative and thought) of the most current Morocco and the most contemporary Spain. On this occasion, the starting point is the power of poetry as a means of communication, breaking the barrier of distance and language, offering us the possibility of sharing what will always unite all human beings: feelings.
To this end, the Moroccan poet Nisrin Ibn Larbi will hold a discussion with the writer and journalist Yolanda Aldón about her work, winner of the 12th Rafael Alberti Poetry Prize. A wind of love and tide. Submitted under the pseudonym Blue TulleThe collection of poems, which will be published in the magazine Aljamiareflects the universal themes of poetry: love, pain, communication, the city, social concern, using infallible rhythmic resources such as anaphora and refrains, as well as original lyrical images. It is a more than remarkable example of the literary concerns of the growing number of Moroccan authors who use the Spanish language as a vehicle for their ideas and feelings.
