An Evening of Persian Poetry

Posted: 28 Feb 2012 07:08 AM PST

Wednesday 9th May

 

6.30- 8pm/ £10 (£5 concessionary price)
The Barber Institute of Fine Arts
Edgbaston, Birmingham
B15 2TS

Persian poetry is often described as one of the greatest of literature's treasures and Birmingham will be able to experience this at first hand as The Barber Institute is one of the venues for the 2012 Persian Poets' Tour organised by the Poetry Translation Centre (PTC). The PTC was founded in 2004 by the poet Sarah Maguire to translate non-European, contemporary poetry into English to a high standard.

The month long tour presents five exceptional poets from Afghanistan, Iran and Tajikistan together with their translators, two of which will appear in Birmingham on Wednesday 9th March at 6.30pm at The Barber Institute. You will be able to enjoy the poems in the poets' native language first and then experience the readings of their translations, which will be followed by discussions about the translation process as well as an opportunity for Q&A from the audience.
 

The two poets appearing in Birmingham on the 9th May are Afghan poets Partaw Naderi and Shakila Azizzada.
 

Partaw Naderi was born in Badakhshan, Afghanistan in 1953 and graduated from the Faculty of Science at Kabul University. He was imprisoned for three years by the Soviet-backed regime in the 1970's and escaped to live in exile in Pakistan, where he worked for the BBC World Service. He returned to Afghanistan in 2002, where he is working as a civic education manager for the Afghan Civil Society Forum and is president of Afghan PEN. His poetry is mainly about his love for nature, rural life and the mountain people, with recurring images of poverty, imprisonment, drought, Taliban-style tyranny and obscurantism, destruction and death. He is described as "one of the leading modernist poets in Afghanistan" by the PTC and has furthermore published a large number of articles on political, social and literary topics.

 

Sarah Maguire was born in West London in 1957, is Naderi's translator and the founder as well as director of the PTC. She has published four highly celebrated poetry collections and was the first writer to be sent to Palestine and Yemen by the British Council. Furthermore, she is the only living English poet with a book in print in Arabic. Her poetry is mainly influenced by her involvement in the women's movement in the 1970's as well as an interest in gender issues, global politics, literary and cultural theory.

 

Shakila Azizzada was born in Kabul in 1964 and studied Law at Kabul University as well as Oriental Languages and Cultures at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, where she still lives now. Her tales, short stories, plays and poems are regularly published and her poems are characterised by an uncommon frankness and delicacy, especially considering topics such as intimacy and desire, which are seldom addressed by Persian women writers.

 

Mimi Khalvati was born in Tehran in 1944 and grew up on the Isle of Wight. She is Azizzada's translator and has been working as an actress and director in the UK and Iran. Furthermore, she is the founder of The Poetry School and has co-edited its anthologies of new writing. She is a tutor at The Arvon Foundation and has taught creative writing at American and British universities and colleges.

 

This event is part of a year round programme of events organised by Writing West Midlands, who also run the Birmingham Book Festival.

Tickets: £10 (£5 concessionary price)
Book Online through our online box office. Tickets will also be available on the door on the evening of the event.
