| An Evening of Persian Poetry: Partaw Naderi Posted: 25 Apr 2012 04:34 AM PDT  On Wednesday 9th May 2012 we welcome the Poetry Translation Centre's Persian Poets' Tour to Birmingham. The tour features five acclaimed poets from three countries- Afghanistan, Iran and Tajikistan taking part in a series of events across the UK alongside their UK poet-translators.
Born in Badakhshan, Afghanistan in 1952 he graduated from the Faculty of Sciences at Kabul University in 1976. He was arrested as were many Afghan intellectuals and artists by the Communist Regime in Kabul and imprisoned in the infamous Pulcharki Prison in 1984; he remained here until the end of 1986. It was shortly after this that he began writing poetry. In 1997, he fled to Pakistan where he worked for the Dari programme of the BBC World Service until 2002. After years of exile, he recently returned to live in Kabul where he is former President of Afghan PEN. Naderi is now regarded as one of the leading modernist poets in Afghanistan. He is also a socio-political activist and his poetry is a reflection of his social and political views. His collections include: An Elegy For Vine, Leaden, Moments of Execution and A Lock on the Gate of Ashes.
The Mirror, by Partaw Naderi I have spent a lifetime in the mirrors of exile busy absorbing my reflection Listen — I come from the unending conflicts of wisdom I have grasped the meaning of nothingness
This palm tree has no hope of spring This palm tree blossoms with a hundred wounds — the daily wounds of a thousand tragedies — the nightly wounds of a thousand calamities This palm tree is a bloody epitaph at the crossroads of the century * Here, by the river — a river of blood and tears — the roots of this palm tree are congealed with disaster are knotted with the blind roots of time * Here, the sky unwinds its bloody cloth from barren red clouds to shroud the shattered lid of a coffin — a broken mirror of rain This palm tree has no hope of spring * This palm tree has no hope of spring This palm tree is starred with a hundred bruises from the whip of the north wind My palm! My only tree! My spring! Many years have passed since the bird of blossoms flew away from your desiccated branches Butterflies abandon you My heart is broken Kabul, November, 1989 translated by Yama Yari & Sarah Maguire, the Poetry Translation Centre
I kissed her — her whole body shivered Like a branch of almond blossom in the wind Like the moon, like a star trembling on the water I kissed her — her whole body shivered Her cheeks showed one colour her gaze revealed another And the sun rose from her tender heart And the thousand-and-one nights of waiting ended And on a colourful morning I shared a bed with the meaning of love
