Dear friends and colleagues,

In Professor Stroebel's words, "The book celebrates the resilience of refugee and diaspora voices after the fallout of the Greek-Turkish Population Exchange and the rise of modern borders."

Book presentations will be made by Professors Kristin Dickensen (Germanic Languages and Comparative Literature, Hadji Bakara (English), and myself. Several of our students will be reciting short selections of poetry from the book in Greek and Turkish.

If you live close by, please consider joining us. 

All good wishes,

Artemis Leontis
