List of Persian/Iranian Events for 2008-09-17

Persian Arts Festival Shab-e She'r (Persian Poetry Night) is back!



Wednesday, September 17th, 6 - 8 pm



Bowery Poetry Club



308 Bowery (@ Bleecker)



$12 cover includes one drink!



Co-curated by PAF Literary Arts Director, Richard Jeffrey Newman and Kaveh Bassiri, the event includes an open mic that is open to all who would like to read their favorite Iranian poetry or their own original work in Persian or English. To sign up to read before the event, email poetry@persianartsfestival.org.



This month's guest reader will be Safa Samiezade=Yazd, an Iranian-American solo theatre artist who works to transform politics into poetics. As a citizen of both countries, Safa has always lived as "the other", and does not try to change history or politics, but rather attempts to synthesize them into a new identity that other Iranian-Americans may be able to claim. Works include "Cover Girl," "Are You My Father," "Khomeini and Me," and "Persian Princess Alchemy."
