Last year I interviewed Egyptian poet Yahia Lababidi on First Person Plural. You can see the entire interview here. Now, film-maker Swoon has turned chunks of that interview into a fascinating 3-minute film. It's pretty cool. You can watch it here.
Other interesting videos taken from the Lababidi's poetry are found here.
Lababidi's new book, out soon, is called Trial by Ink: From Nietzsche to Bellydancing.

The Writer's Center Interview Series: Yahia Lababidi
Today we have what I hope to make a semi-regular feature on First Person Plural: a video interview with an author. Here we have my conversation with Yahia Lababidi, the Egyptian-Lebanese author of Signposts to Elsewhere. A special thanks to Shawn Orenstein for putting all my footage into one shorter video. Trust me, this was long. She did a great job trimming it.
