This experience of movement and cultural encounter becomes creative material.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1661\">For Rajaa, borders are not only geographical lines. There are also borders between languages, cultures, memories and ways of seeing the world.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1704\">Poetry allows her to cross those borders.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1wu0ou1\" data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1750\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Between_languages_and_different_voices\"><\/span>2. Between languages and different voices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1818\">Language occupies an important place in Rajaa&#8217;s poetic experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1820\" data-end=\"1961\">Reading a poem in one language and hearing it interpreted in another creates a space where cultures can meet without one having to disappear.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"2160\">This was particularly evident during the meeting in Ferrara. Rajaa read <strong data-start=\"2035\" data-end=\"2073\">\u201cAltars in Unfuturistic Dwellings\u201d<\/strong> in English, while an Italian artist brought the poem to the Italian-speaking audience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2162\" data-end=\"2327\">The experience demonstrated one of the great possibilities of poetry: words may change language, but their emotional and human meaning can continue to cross borders.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1s195ho\" data-start=\"2329\" data-end=\"2360\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Poetry_as_a_meeting_place\"><\/span>3. Poetry as a meeting place<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2362\" data-end=\"2431\">The Italian encounter was not simply a succession of poetry readings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2433\" data-end=\"2607\">Throughout nine days, poets, writers, artists and cultural figures from different countries shared experiences in Rome, Florence, Bologna, Ferrara, Rovigo, Mestre and Venice.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2776\">Rajaa&#8217;s participation became part of this international exchange, where poetry functioned as a meeting place between people who come from different cultural realities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2778\" data-end=\"2927\">In this sense, her presence in Italy reflected one of the essential principles of Poets of the World: using poetry to create bridges between peoples.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"11nm3o6\" data-start=\"2929\" data-end=\"2971\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_journey_becomes_part_of_the_poem\"><\/span>4. The journey becomes part of the poem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2973\" data-end=\"3020\">Travel can change the way we look at the world.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3022\" data-end=\"3249\">Moving from one country to another means encountering different languages, traditions, landscapes and histories. For a poet, these encounters can become questions, images and emotions that eventually find their way into poetry.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3251\" data-end=\"3366\">Rajaa&#8217;s international experience gives her writing a perspective that is not confined to a single cultural horizon.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3368\" data-end=\"3403\">Her poetry emerges from encounters.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"p8d46k\" data-start=\"3405\" data-end=\"3454\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Memory_identity_and_the_contemporary_world\"><\/span>5. Memory, identity and the contemporary world<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3456\" data-end=\"3522\">The meeting between cultures also raises questions about identity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3524\" data-end=\"3697\">Who are we when we live between different places? How does another language change the way we understand ourselves? What happens when memories from different worlds coexist?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3699\" data-end=\"3816\">These are some of the questions that can be felt behind a poetic work such as <strong data-start=\"3777\" data-end=\"3816\">\u201cAltars in Unfuturistic Dwellings.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3818\" data-end=\"3890\">Rather than offering simple answers, poetry opens spaces for reflection.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"8we3ru\" data-start=\"3892\" data-end=\"3932\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Poetry_beyond_geographical_borders\"><\/span>6. Poetry beyond geographical borders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3934\" data-end=\"4005\">The experience in Italy once again demonstrated that poetry can travel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4007\" data-end=\"4193\">A poem written in one cultural environment can be read in another country, translated into another language and understood by people who have never shared the poet&#8217;s original experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4195\" data-end=\"4259\">That is precisely the power of an international poetry movement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4261\" data-end=\"4443\">Poets do not need to speak the same language to recognize one another. They can meet through images, emotions, questions and the common human experiences contained within their work.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"d4uyjh\" data-start=\"4445\" data-end=\"4500\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Rajaa_Gharbi_in_the_Poets_of_the_World_experience\"><\/span>7. Rajaa Gharbi in the Poets of the World experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4502\" data-end=\"4611\">Rajaa Gharbi&#8217;s participation in Italy was therefore more than an individual appearance on a cultural program.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4613\" data-end=\"4733\">It was part of a collective experience in which poetry became a vehicle for dialogue between America, Europe and Africa.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4735\" data-end=\"4958\">From Rome to Venice, the II International Meeting of Poets of the World created spaces for encounters, readings, conversations and friendships. In Ferrara, Rajaa&#8217;s poem crossed yet another border: from English into Italian.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4960\" data-end=\"5023\">That moment summarizes something essential about poetry itself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5025\" data-end=\"5221\">A poem can begin in one place and continue its journey somewhere else. It can pass from one language to another, from one culture to another, and still retain the ability to speak to human beings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5223\" data-end=\"5281\">Rajaa Gharbi&#8217;s voice became part of that journey in Italy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5283\" data-end=\"5433\">And perhaps that is one of the most beautiful things about poetry: <strong data-start=\"5350\" data-end=\"5433\">it does not ask where we come from before inviting us to listen to one another.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"jmqg2b\" data-start=\"5435\" data-end=\"5462\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poetry_knows_no_borders\"><\/span>Poetry knows no borders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"5464\" data-end=\"5632\">The participation of Rajaa Gharbi in the II International Meeting of Poets of the World in Italy reminds us that poetry remains a powerful space for cultural encounter. This meeting was part of the new stage of Poets of the World, following the celebration of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poetasdelmundo.com\/news\/english\/poets-of-the-world-20-years?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">20th anniversary<\/a> and the launch of its new website.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5634\" data-end=\"5729\">In a world divided by borders, conflicts and differences, poets can continue to create bridges.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5731\" data-end=\"5764\">Rajaa brought her voice to Italy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5766\" data-end=\"5805\">Italy gave that voice another language.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5807\" data-end=\"5850\">And poetry, once again, crossed the border.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5852\" data-end=\"5888\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><strong data-start=\"5852\" data-end=\"5888\" data-is-last-node=\"\">Because poetry knows no borders.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden has-[&gt;_:empty]:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1\" data-conversation-screenshot-content=\"\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none -mt-px h-px translate-y-(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom)\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajaa Gharbi&#8217;s participation in the II International Meeting of Poets of the World in Italy, held from June 12 to 20, 2026, was part of a larger poetic dialogue between America, Europe and Africa.
