Happy Easter from the Atrium Loft Cafe & Literary Salon!
Dish of the Day
by Abdellatif Laâbi, as translated by Andre Naffis-Sahely
For today’s special
we’d like to recommend a very spicy
‘killer’ stew
Our menu today: Vegetarian Moroccan stew accompanied by a fresh salade verte and a splash of wine. For dessert –an organic vanilla cake with chocolate icing. Poet: Abdellatif Laâbi.
“Abdellatif Laâbi is among the most well-known Moroccan writers living today. Born in Fez in 1942, he co-founded the poetry review Souffles in 1966. Six years later, Souffles was banned and Laâbi was imprisoned. He was released in 1980, and five years later he moved to France where he has resided ever since.” (Quarterly Conversation, June 11, 2013)
You won’t need a starter, he added
as the stew is very substantial
a local wine
the sort used for sangria

Prayers for peace and tolerance…
