John Asfour, author of Blindfold, will take part in the Visual Art Centre's Poetry and Prose Reading, tomorrow March 23rd, and an evening in A Multilingual Evening of Poetry on March 27th.
Blinded by a grenade in Lebanon as a teenager, Asfour came to Canada armed with James Joyce's words, "For the eyes, they bring us nothing. I have a hundred worlds to create and I am only losing one of them."
Blindfold investigates the ways in which disability influences our lives and is magnified in our minds. In a series of thematically linked poems, Asfour draws the metaphor of the blindfold across the eyes of sighted citizens who are impaired by estrangement, emotional complexity, and social pressures.
