Great Regulars: Three other international writers from

the University of Iowa's international program--Soheil Najm of Iraq, Milos Djurdjevic of Croatia and Meena Kandasamy of India--read briefly as well. The diminutive Kandasamy hit the emotional peak of the evening of poetry with a riveting work on the plight of the Tamil peoples of India, a crescendo of words in English, concluding "Crimes of passion. Our passion, your crimes."
