To honour and study the poetry of the late Lebanese poet Jawdat Haydar, his family and friends hold an annual event in Lebanese universities every December. This year the event will be held at the BA, organized by the Alexandria and Mediterranean Research Center (Alex-Med) to foster Mediterranean studies. It will comprise a number of seminars involving graduate students from Alexandria University and Pharos University to study various aspects of Haydar’s work, and enter a competition whose result will be announced in December with the presence of the daughter of Jawdat Haydar.
