ACCC hosts Dima Khatib

Syrian-Palestinian Dima Khatib read her poetry at the Arab American Community and Cultural Center (ACCC) in San Francisco, CA on August 14. Some 50 people -- that is to say, the seating capacity at the ACCC -- gave her a warm and heartfelt reception. Khatib was accompanied on the violin, and seconded by local poets who presented their works, often for the first time in public. Khatib, the longtime Latin America correspondent for Al Jazeera and now managing director of Al Jazeera's digital service AJ+, shared selections from her book of poetry, Love Refugee currently in Arabic only.
