PERSIAN ARTS FESTIVAL presents: PERSIAN POETRY NIGHT at the BOWERY POETRY CLUB
Persian Arts Festival (PAF) is producing Shab-e She'r: A Night of (Persian) Poetry at the Bowery Poetry Club (BPC) with a modern, new generational spin. Wed. Nov. 19th the guest reader will be award-winning translator, Niloufar Talebi.
Shab-e She’r at the Bowery Poetry Club will run from 6-7:30 PM every third Wednesday of the month. $6 admission. Please visit PAF online for more information at www.persianartsfestival.org.
Niloufar is the editor/translator of BELONGING: New Poetry by Iranians Around the World (North Atlantic Books, August 2008). She founded The Translation Project (www.thetranslationproject.org) in 2003, an organization dedicated to bringing new Iranian literature to wide audiences with innovative book, multimedia, and theater projects. She created Midnight Approaches, a DVD of short videos, and ICARUS/RISE, a multimedia theatrical piece. Both are based on the poetry in BELONGING.
A long-standing and well-loved tradition, Shab-e She'r brings together poets, scholars, and other members of the Iranian community in the New York metropolitan area to celebrate their shared literary heritage. Poets, young and old, read their own work, in Persian and in English; others recite, and sometimes sing, poems by Rumi, Sa'di, Hafez. The program has taken what tends to be a very classical Persian tradition and has expanded it to feature modern works of literature, ranging from fictional novels to memoirs. Readers have included Nahid Rachlin, Manijeh Nasrabadi, and Joe Martin. An open mic follows the reading, inviting everyone to read in Persian and/or English. To sign up for the open mic email: poetry@persianartsfestival.org.
