I love your poem about Joe Biden, a decent man to call our president. Katrina, thank you for giving our brains a workout these two days! My head is hurting again. вЂњworthy are youвЂќ вЂњ,this got youвЂ™veвЂќ вЂњ,believeвЂќ

Unfounded was self-doubt our that us reminding gently Hard be to supposed was that conversation a leavingД®xpected was resistance where acceptance finding ?moment the of kindness the to acquiesce gently or Suggestion received warmly a than more nothing wereДЇight a for ready youвЂ™re when do you do what Hard be to anticipated is conversation a sometimesДЄre over fight to prepared were you that topics This is a poem I wrote a few months ago, but somehow it seemed to fit the reversing of the words, since the outcome of my conversation was the opposite of what I expected. Then, the form will truly reflect the content of the poem. Deal with something that is or needs to be turned around. Play with capitalization and punctuation. You could even use rhyme and rhythm for an extra challenge. It is more challenging than you may think. (Even in typing the instructions here, my brain defaulted to left to right). However, the challenge for most of us will be to write a poem from right to left. If you are fluent in Arabic, you may strive to follow the Arabic form to the letter.

I introduced Marwa HelalвЂ™s poem вЂњpoem to be read from right to leftвЂќ to my students and asked them to write a вЂњBackwardsвЂќ poem. be and cry and laugh to him expect IД®xpect? to much too this Is A studentвЂ™s poem Lady First the embrace to continue to him expect I divine seeks and prays he if it like would I

Inclusivity and diversity embrace to him expect I Respect humble and genuine reflect should it Media social use not better had he God, ByД«e. I took a letter I wrote but never mailed to President Joe Biden and turned it into a right to left poem.Д«riefings daily to attend to him expect I To vehemently reject, in this case, means to transfer the feeling of every time the poet has heard an English as Only Language speaker patronizingly utter in some variation the following phrase: вЂњOh, is English as a Second LanguageвЂ¦вЂ™ As if it was a kind of weakness, nahвЂќ ( ). The Arabic is a form that includes an Arabic letter with an Arabic footnote, and an Arabic numeral, preferably written right to left as the Arabic language is, and vehemently rejects you if you try to read it left to right. вЂњвЂ™poem to be read from right to leftвЂќ is written in a form created by the poet called The Arabic. Then I discovered вЂњPOEM TO BE READ FROM RIGHT TO LEFT.вЂќ When I read HelalвЂ™s poem вЂњWHO REAL?вЂќ, I knew it was something I had to share with my students. I discovered Helal through the daily email I receive from poem-a-day. My story is just a small snapshot of the systemic abuse inherent in the immigration-industrial complexвЂќ ( ). I didnвЂ™t know at the time that Homeland Security would become ICE, and ICE would become children in cages by the time the book was out. Helal describes her purpose in writing as вЂњWanting to bear witness to the experience my family went through in immigrating, wanting to find others who had similar experiences, wanting to highlight the flaws in the вЂlegalвЂ™ immigration system-a conversation this country doesnвЂ™t want to have-they would rather focus on what they deem вЂillegalвЂ™ immigration when in fact they are the ones who are illegal, if anyone is. She received her MFA in creative nonfiction from The New School and her BA in journalism and international studies from Ohio Wesleyan UniversityвЂќ ( ). вЂњBorn in Al Mansurah, Egypt, Helal currently lives and teaches in Brooklyn, New York. Marwa Helal writes, вЂњI believe words and images have great power in shaping worldviews, and I want my contribution to be positive and truthfulвЂќ ( ).
