SayidSomal Posted March 29, 2012 An evening of poetry and prose from two emerging writers of Somali origin - Warsan Shire and Diriye Osman. Â The descent of Somalia into civil war in the early 1990s and the subsequent waves of migration that followed created some of the most travelled, adaptable people in the world. Â African Writers' Evening presents Warsan Shire and Diriye Osman, who read poetry and prose that have a shared heritage stitched within them. It's a heritage of shape-shifting, migration, being the outsider, and survival against all odds. Â Hosted by Nigerian poet and playwright Inua Ellams.
